My desired outcome for this project was for me to do something fun every day and not just sit around on my phone or watch tv all day. My original design was a 30-day challenge where I scheduled a fun thing to do every day and I would check it off every day once I completed the activity. It went really well in the beginning and I was so into it until I just missed a day because I had so much school work to do and that by the time I had free time, I didn’t want to do the thing scheduled so I didn’t. Then one day turned into two and then a few more days and I realized I had not stuck to my schedule. I was still doing a lot of fun things like baking or painting or playing basketball, but they were not the originally scheduled things. I was doing whatever I felt like doing in the moment because there were sometimes where I just did the activity that was on the challenge because I had to do it, not because I truly wanted to do it. I then was watching a YouTube video one day and it was 100 things you can do during the quarantine. I saw how many different things there were to do so I decided to write them all down, tweaking a few to make them more applicable to me. Now instead of having something scheduled, I can look at the list and choose the activity that moves me at the moment or if I don’t know what I want to do I can just use a random number generator that will pick the activity for me. I think that this will be a good way to continue to keep me busy and have a little fun during these crazy times.
