I’m off until at least 5 Feb due to a boxers fracture. I’m getting sick of TV and movies. Today I’ll clean my apartment, but even with my busted hand it will only take a couple of hours. I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Solve Rubik’s cubes
  • Work on music production
  • Sleep

Thing I probably should do:

  • Continue to learn Swift
  • Follow makeup tutorials

Lemmy, what would you do?

EDIT: Keep ‘em coming Lemmsters! I LOVE the suggestions, and can’t wait to give some of these a go!

A 33 tome long book series can't be finished in 9 days. Ascendance of a Bookworm is my favorite thing in the world right now.

"Follow makeup tutorials" is pretty vague, do you have more specifics on what you're aiming for with that? Part of why I ask if because I know that I can find the functionally infinite array of tutorials overwhelming, and if I don't have a clear goal, I'll end up burning out.

The other part of why I ask is because I'm curious about your style goals — what do you want to be able to do that you can't currently do? Is this part of a larger endeavour to shape your style?

I haven’t done my makeup in so long. I’m re-learning basics rn. I just want to be able to have a natural look that I can put on in a reasonable amount of time. It’s Viet Lunar New Year this weekend, and I want to look nice. Specifically I want to work on contouring, as I have like no idea what I’m doing.

Spend time thinking about changes I want to make in life, like better eating habits or more exercise, then rethink my home and how to set up for long term success, maybe.

Maybe just cruise Lemmy/all and make braindead jokes at smart people as per usual.

Wayyy ahead of ya lol.

I had just started going to the gym again, and then I went and turned my life upside down lol.

I fall into the trap of procrastination and end up mindlessly consuming YT. How do you keep yourself on track?

Uhh I super don't. Best I can do is at least use Grayjay and Freetube to avoid ads.

Download and play the free demo of Factorio

If you have a desktop computer with a somewhat modern graphics card you can give an hour or two trying to install kobold.cpp and a local large language model.

You can give your feet a good scrub down in hot water mixed with Epson salt and whatever fancy oils or nice smelling scents you want to throw in.

You can cook a big meal.

You can sort your kitchen and pantry out throw away the old fridge bad food stuff.

You can do some art. You can play a single player pen and paper game like Delve or a classic puzzle like sedoku

That looks really interesting! It doesn’t look like it would run on a Mac though.

I started learning Kontakt 7

The 9 days will just fly by, and you might be able to map a couple of keys by then lol
