Hi, I'm Brennan! I created this website to provide weekly updates regarding my goals (systems) that I currently have on a website called Beeminder as a way to keep myself accountable, as well as a place for general draft writing. For more information on the theory behind this idea, please check out the following links where I have written extensively about this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Sixty-six: Where I've Been
Posted: January 1, 2022Hmm, well I guess the fact that I’ve gotten Beeminder permanently ingrained is a good enough reason to finally update my Beejournal. Which means it’s already doing a good job of being a commitment device unto its own, hah! Time for a long overdue diatribe. I know I said multiple times throughout...
Sixty-five: Necessary Recalibration
Posted: June 11, 2021Week Sixty-five! I haven’t written in quite a while, and there are a few reasons for that. Trying to increase certain goals quickly has totally thrown off my momentum with everything. I’ve been so busy trying to keep up with the bare minimum that a lot has gone neglected.

Sixty-three: Going Back
Posted: May 24, 2021Week Sixty-three! I suppose it’s time to announce some news that I’ve been sitting on for awhile, now. After a lot of thought over the year, the pandemic has made me re-evaluate a lot, as I’m sure it has with many. And so I’ve decided to go back to school, and have recently been accepted into the...
Sixty-two: Counting Words
Posted: May 17, 2021Week Sixty-two! Quite a few Beeminder-related things to talk about this week. First off, my failures: I derailed on both /distraction and /meditation a few days ago, which definitely was causation. Overall, I’ve been feeling distracted and disorganized. I’ve had to adjust the deadlines for a cou...
Sixty-one: Longterm
Posted: May 10, 2021Week Sixty-one! Just as late as last week, but that means there’s consistency at least, right? I’ve been having trouble with /github recently (and subsequently, /learning), specifically trying to find a new project. Or perhaps more aptly, trying to motivate myself to continue on the projects I’v...
