I have problems with goals. Setting them is easy, but actually accomplishing them? Hard. Part of it is the Aphantasia. Supposedly, some people can visualize outcomes and sort of manifest them into being, like some sort of witch. That's not something I can do. The future is an opaque mystery to me.

The month of August is the highlighted squares there. Each blue check is a day I went to the gym or did some other sort of exercise. I'm super excited about this. Normally, I don't really feel motivated by programs or lists or things. But I do like my accumulation of blue checks. It's actually
