Failed last habit-making attempt. I owe my brother $10. On the other hand, I have taken Vaniver’s advice to start taking notes on my crazy fanfic ideas. I started putting everything on a mind map, though I’ll probably move it to an arrow chart instead so I can draw cool arrows all over the place and better show sequential order of events/avoid mixing incompatible elements.
I tried the updating game yesterday. I didn’t realize how much I’d been flinching away from trying the calibration tests I saved to my favorites bar. My compy crashed a little way in, and I didn’t quite feel like restarting. So I’m reframing it as a challenge to input what feel like wildly under-confident 95% ranges until my guesses are so obviously inclusive of the real answer that I’m forced to start correcting the other way. I also consciously reminded myself in the morning that that wobbly feeling of “I know next to nothing about this, but surely it’s not too far from...” is what overconfidence feels like, and that if I ever get that feeling about a RL guess I should seriously consider how much of my plotting is made contingent on that point.
