End-of-week Report

Has this blog been more about vague hints regarding my personal life and studies than games for the past months? Probably so. Do I have the time to do anything about it, short of stopping posting altogether? Probably not. I noted 5 weeks ago, how there's still a bunch more coming after my thesis deadline, but this still feels like the big immediately hurdle looming over the horizon right now, so I'm still hoping for the "it'll be over in 2 weeks" scenario.

End-of-week Report

3 weeks until my thesis deadline, and I am now, for sure, on the last stretch of Berseria. Mostly unrelated events, but I wonder which will come around first.
Life's been a bit rough this last week, but that just makes it more likely that it won't get even worse. Got to keep my eyes on the prizes, not the potential doom and and gloom.

I got another session of Tales of Berseria in. According to my current low standards, that's a successful week.
Honestly, I hate this, but I have 4 weeks left to go. I'm making steady progress IRL, at least.

5 more weeks until my suffering ends. Last week was hell, next will probably be too - don't expect anything. Have a report.

I tried actually restricting my time to work and play these last few days. I somewhat hate such rigid methods of self-discipline, but I suppose it might be necessary when facing a large task - my thesis - which I can't complete by just binging it until it's done, but rather have to self-manage my time to do it. It also gives me more freedom when playing, since I can feel like I really earned this play time, and I've done enough work that I will not fall behind in getting things done.
Overall, I'd say it was positive, as I managed to continue Tales of Berseria after nearly 6 months. I hope I can do more streams in the near future, and that this time allocation scheme, unappealing as it may be, makes me spend my time better until I finish all I need to do.

I was pretty upset at reaching even 200 games, but now I have to fight against reaching 300. Realizing I have a problem with my time management, and not making excuses, is the first step. The willpower to start fixing it is the second. The third step, perseverance, should hopefully be easier, as long as I'm pushing in the right direction and see my efforts getting me closer to my goals.
