This seems like a great practical framework- I've noticed that establishing habits like the ones you mention are the only reliable first step to long projects in my life.

Very curious about what you would do on a daily bases that would qualify as "interesting"? Any particularly rewarding "interesting" activities? I'd love to inject some routine variety in my life.

I defined "interesting" as I should be able to list 7 things of note when I call my parents on the weekend. This generally ended up being one of a few different actives:

* Read in a cafe / the park

* Try a new restaurant with a friend

* Go see a movie in theaters

* Go to a concert

* Check out a local art show

* Try an art project at home

The gist of it was that I ended up putting more effort into planning my week by asking myself "what's the cool thing I'm doing today". From there you end up finding venues and actives that have an event that you want to attend (eg a concert) and on slower days you find an excuse to hang out with a friend / do a hobby you find relaxing.

I like all of these things. Kudos.
