Saturday, May 18th
I'm going to try again to create a private list that doesn't show up on the boards every day. My list is so long and nobody but me needs to wade through it. I need it long because I have so many things I need to keep track of, like ideas for future projects. My plan is to just change the date and edit, hopefully deleting things I got done while I add new ones, with maintenance/dailies at the top. I still haven't turned these into habits and seem to need daily reminders. I don't know if it's just being elword and not wanting to copy/paste or just because I want to avoid having to scroll. Anyway, here goes. Soon I will disappear from Latest. I'm pretty good at keeping myself accountable and I don't need the yays. I get those just looking at the list.
EXTRAS FROM DAY PREVIOUS (things that weren't on my list but I accidentally did anyway)
