New Habits

As a parent of two small children, It is insanely challenging trying to find time and energy to do anything extra beyond parenting. I find that the quality of my free time (after they fall asleep) is so poor that all I want to do is zone out to some video until 10pm, go to bed and resent the lack of progress on things I want to do. But I think I might have unlocked something that can create some inertia and develop deliberate practice of just getting started/finishing something.

I made a site called: daily-album.club where I recommend an album every day with some links to where you can listen to it.

This site has an intended audience of one (me), so the stakes of creating a recommendation is low stakes. After creating an album recommendation, I can usually find the energy/motivation to continue with something else. Here’s to seeing if some deliberate practice will make me more productive overall!
