Here I am, nearly two months after starting my blog I finished the two PACTs I made with myself. This means it’s evaluation time :)
If you want to find out what these two PACTs were about and what the hell is a PACT anyhow check out my first post from 05.07.2025.
First, I really enjoyed the creative writing, to experiment with different contents, visualisations, topics and so on. So for now I will keep this aspect and build on it. Expanding my repertoire, trying concepts I haven’t attempted yet. Maybe write another short story. Definitely doing more ASCII art. There are some ideas I haven’t explored yet :) Continue to vent my frustrations in a creative and occasionally fun way. Share my insights every now and then how life feels for me and how I experience everyday situations.
Regardless of my study course, which starts again today, I plan to uphold the one post per day schedule for the near future. Potential necessary adjustments in the update schedule will be announced beforehand.
Second, I’m going to adjust the weekly reviews. I’m going to change the headings from “Plus – Minus – Next” to “Grateful – Failure – Take Away”. I’ll try this new concept for the next two months till the end of October 2025 and then evaluate it again.
With the old headings I sometimes got the feeling that I’m writing entries on a to do list. With the new headings I want to try the concepts of gratefulness and analysing failures and/or disappointments. Expressing gratitude is a way to improve mental health and by analysing our failures we get insights to expand and grow. Thus I’m trying out two concepts I came in contact with in the past but never gave them a shot for more than one or two days and especially not in a structured and easy to maintain way.
On the whole I’m really satisfied with the outcomes of my first tiny experiment and I will definitely continue in this spirit. I also have plans to expand the content of the blog beyond creative writing. To give you a hint, my plans involve pictures of the physical creative projects I’m doing. So this might result in yet another tiny experiment ;)
I hope you continue to enjoy your stay at my place and see you soon :)
