​For those tuning into this round my master goals list is here. The list of everyone participating in this round is here.

My anxiety was pretty high by the end of the week due to having high expectations and not succeeding in those results, particularly at work. Also getting pulled in many different directions while trying to get some new routine stuff off the ground, again at work. Saturday was supposed to be completely off time to relax, but I ended up getting everything done expect for the weeding anyways. I think that's a side effect of my anxiety being high. Sometimes it seems like the natural thing to take a break, but the brain only sees the end of the light as getting stuff done.


AFTER ACTION REVIEW
Other than my anxiety being high I got a lot done including all of my minigoals. The basement project got the next step done, and if I keep at it will certainly be done by the end of the month. I read three books about writing and advertising. It felt like Goldilocks with the first book being not worthwhile, the second being ok, and the third being excellent and full of useful information. Next up is a physical TBR pile book. 

Lastly, some might notice that at home composting is yellow. I've been coming to a standstill on recycling research/actions. A lot of that has to do with the fact that I can't leave my house to take actions, so it's all research and there isn't a ton that has new information after researching twice a week for three months. (Short of me looking at recycling research papers or some of the more advanced work.) So I decided to research on composting, and that ended up with me purchasing a specific composing item that specializes in taking all food waste and degrading it into nothing. This seemed ideal since I don't have a place to put soil (I'm simply not a farmer, I've tried.) and it doesn't take any maintenance. I just put things in they disappear. The order will take a while to arrive, but it'll certainly get installed by May, so no rush.


MINIGOALS
First off is keep up with Masterclass listening and basement project work. I don't want to add it to the weekly schedule, but at least one session of each before the next checkin.

Second, I'd like to get all of the Amazon reviews done this week. I haven't bought anything new from them lately, but I certainly have a backlog that I'm willing to workthrough.

Lastly, keep up the reading momentum! ​

Wow, you are rocking your goals this week! Though I'm sorry about the anxiety. I think that's pretty much everywhere right now. Cool about the composting stuff - that's something I want to do on our land, especially since it will really help the garden with the poor soil we have in our area. Hope you have a great week with as many accomplishments, but less anxiety!
