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.
Forty-Six: Weasel Thoughts
Posted: January 14, 2021Week Forty-six! A little late this week, I had to reinstall my operating system (again) because both my sound and WiFi drivers suddenly and mysteriously vanished last week. The good news is that the problems I had with my NVIDIA card seemed to have been resolved with this updated version of Xubun...
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.

Forty-Four: New Years Goals!
Posted: December 30, 2020Week Forty-four! Happy New Year! Alright, one last update before the year ends.

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...
Forty-two: Edge Skates
Posted: December 16, 2020Week Forty-two! After another interesting and productive conversation on the Beeminder discord, I’ve come to the (obvious) realization that edge-skating is bad! Take it from the test subject who has more than a dozen Beeminder goals that are set to derail daily. My thinking previously for this w...
Forty-one: Study List
Posted: December 9, 2020Week Forty-one! It’s been a bit of a difficult and introspective week for me. The cold weather and diminishing hours of the winter day are taking a bit of a toll on my morale and productivity. I’ve made a point to wake up around sunrise, and take a morning walk each day. You’d think that by now I...
