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.
Forty-Eight: Intuitive Productivity
Posted: January 29, 2021Week Forty-eight! Quite a bit of discussion this week, how exciting! I suppose I’ll try my best to respond to it all. How are you tracking all the courses? –@experimentallearner I wrote about this in entry #41 a little bit, but my approach to this is twofold: Have one Beeminder that’s outco...
Forty-Seven: Vitamins and Mornings
Posted: January 21, 2021Week Forty-seven! I’d said I’m doing better this week, productivity-wise. I’m upgrading to a new workstation tomorrow, so that’s pretty exciting.

Forty-Five: Forgetful Hierarchy
Posted: January 7, 2021Week Forty-five! This has been a totally lackluster week for me, probably the laziest I’ve been since I’ve started this–but I don’t see that as a bad thing. I’ve noticed for awhile now that I’ve been having this tug-of-war on a daily basis between between my akrasia and my daily routine. Of cour...
Forty-Four: New Years Goals!
Posted: December 30, 2020Week Forty-four! Happy New Year! Alright, one last update before the year ends. I’ve been at this experiment for around ten months now, and though I’m eager to give a complete summary of how things have gone in February, most people enjoy taking time to reflect at the end of the year, so I’ll do ...
Forty-Three: The Fragile Perfect
Posted: December 22, 2020Week Forty-three! A minor update, but after many months of stagnation I’ve finally reached the Amethyst league in Duolingo! That 1st place in the Diamond league is one step closer to being mine, mwuhaha. Other than that, though, this week has been sort of blah. I’ve had a couple derails this wee...
