+**** Four Fields
+I've been feeling as though I've been /bootlooping/ for a while now... like there's never enough momentum to really get the habits I'm trying to build online. Especially with work-hunting and French studies this is starting to become a real problem.
+
+Last night I came up with the following time management system, which I'll be trying for a while. In this system, the business of life divides into four /fields/:
+- *Body* -- Care for the physical body /e.g./ exercise, preparing and eating food, personal hygiene;
+- *Mind* -- Care for the mind, /e.g./ studying, playing games, reading, meditation;
+- *House* -- Things concerning not only the actual household, anything /of the environment/, /e.g./ tidying up, finances, all manner of chores, administrating digital systems;
+- *Role*  -- Things as they relate to interpersonal relations and society /e.g./ family, friendship, neighborliness.
+
+Things are grouped into fields moreso on /intention/ than on /activity/. Every *hour* I choose one field to work on, and resolve to limit my activities to that field. I started today with an hour of /Body/, which included eating breakfast, stretching, showering and brushing my teeth and so on. I write this now in an hour of /House/, under which I count this writing, after which I will clean up my browser tabs, set hourly alarms on my phone to help me stick to the system, and maybe do some more chores around the website if there's time. I'll probably follow with either an hour of /Role/ (French study), /Mind/ (meditation), or /Body/ (taking a walk and a nap), depending on how I feel.
+
+In principle this system should ensure that I can constrain myself to thinking about only ¼ of reality for only 1 hour at a time.

+Got rid of over 1500 tabs. Good riddance. I'm sure whatever was in there was totally worth looking at, and I look forward to running into it again. Life's too busy to be hoarding /intentions./

+Thanks to the chickens for laying eggs for me, grass and buggies for feeding those chickens, truckers for transporting them, the people of the supermarket for stocking them, and the electricity company for allowing my induction plate to work.
+
+Went to the forest and farm today. First time printing PETG with the 3D printer -- hard to get right. Broke the streak of not drawing! Found out the supermarket stocks fantastic tiny star-shaped gnocchis.
