Doesn't have to be a big thing! For me, I just managed to handle an entire move all on my own, without help from friends or family.

It is not as much as others, but:

  • I actually submitted something that resembles a game, though, more of a prototype, to a lisp game jam that happened a while ago
  • This time I pulled off in total, 60 hours of reading, books.
  • I am still studying Japanese daily
  • Still alive :D

Those are all nice things, the last one in particular deserves a lot of praise!

Those are brilliant achievements you should definitely feel proud! I wish I could get back into reading to that extent. I can manage an hour but that's about it. Hopefully now online life is starting to slow down a bit it will encourage me to have more perseverance.

Ah. I do have similar issue, that usually, at once, I will struggle to read for over a hour. Thankfully, found a way, that works. 10-40 minutes reading -> 5 minute break -> 10-40 minutes reading of different book -> and so, loop this. And if I do this often enough, there will be times, where I actually do manage to somehow pull off more than an hour, without said break.

Anyhow, take your time :D, and make small steps. I myself, went from reading ~10h a month at the start of the year, to then 30h, and... the amounts that I am pulling off now. I believ in you
