Reply To: [unofficial weekender] 6 Weeks until Christmas

For some reason I’m already thinking it’s saturday tomorrow, but there’s at least one day of work ahead at this time.

Everything happens in cycles … we may just be on the downward side of the wheel, which isn’t that weird considering the time of the year and the event and all.

I’ve had very little time to do anything and when I had time I either didn’t feel like doing anything or I got distracted by videogames too …

It’s not the videogame itself, but the Gamepass system that has this sort of achievement thing that rewards silly points if you do stuff like ‘start a game’ or do a specific task within a game. These tasks change daily, weekly and monthly.
And even though I should know better … it works. I find myself starting up my xbox each day just to check off a few of those easy bits and possibly one or two of the weekly ones.

Maybe we need something like that in our hobby too ?
Something with some really really low key easy to do tasks (open your box of minis), a few harder ones (assemble 1 mini) and really tough ones (assemble, base, prime and paint a full squad) …

It might help break down the pile of opportunity into something that doesn’t feel like a big task.

Things like the slow grow league for Wild West Exodus and the ‘raise the black’ – challenge thread and of course the UHH pledge could feed into such a system as well.

Blood & Plunder: Raise the Black Painting Challenge

which reminds me that I need to start doing stuff instead of thinking about doing stuff …
(I had said that I would be ‘slow’ 😀 … but I really should attempt to gain some momentum )

We’ve had too little music … I give you ThunderMother :
