Dear community,

Special Fish needs your support now.

For the entire month of February, I'm asking the community to help keep Special Fish running. I run this site entirely on my own as a working artist, living off my work.

Special Fish depends on users like you for hosting, maintenance, and keeping the site running. Every user costs the site money. If you use Special Fish regularly or just don't want to see it go away, please consider supporting it. A yearly contribution of $40 is suggested (that comes out to $3.33 per month). Supporters pay for users who don't have the means to support the site.

Please consider donating:

Become a regular subscriber on our Patreon → Make a one-time donation with Stripe (USD) → Make a one-time donation with Stripe (EUR) → Donate with PayPal →

End-of-month routine

  • Wrap up last month's journal:
  • - Respond to "What happened?"
  • - List "Unexpected" and "Responses"
  • Set up next month's journal:
  • - Table view
  • - Calendar view
  • - Future view (next six months)
  • - Plan / What happened page
  • - Create "Plan" for next month:
  • -- An ordered list of projects, with a few key 'shippables' underneath each one
  • -- List Life Memories
  • Monthly finances (see: Monthly Finances routine)

End-of-week routine

  • Cross off progress on projects in monthly view.
  • Refer to ordered list of projects in "What will happen?"
  • - Set up each day's page
  • - Pencil scheduled events in
  • Lay out next week:
  • Create "weekly list" around projects from "What will happen?":
  • - Number list with # week of life (e.g., 1701).
  • - For each project, pick two tasks max; one level of implementation detail is OK
  • - Assign projects roughly to days by penciling in day name (e.g., "M," "Tu") next to project name

Wake-up routine

  • 15 minute mindfulness meditation (ok to do a bad job)
  • Posture stretches - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqcOCBb4arc
  • Journal - write dreams; tarot draw

Wrap-up routine

  • Check in with Weekly List and update as necessary
  • Set up next day's page in journal and 'work out the day'
  • Reflect on daily tarot draw, underlining words that remind me of how the card speaks to events from the day
  • Body scan

Monthly Finances routine

  • Gather and categorize all expenses
  • Write down balance of every account
  • Update business ledger
  • Spend time with the spreadsheets. Make observations.
