Tinker Tuesday for April 29, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Last week’s issues: I delayed sending a birthday gift due to anxiety and emotional avoidance. No point in self-blame now—just need to act.

This week’s goals:

Must complete:

1Send the delayed birthday package.

2Systematically think through (and possibly write about) the Western romanticization of Japanese and Korean culture, and my personal discomfort with it.

3Book a dentist appointment regarding my wisdom tooth issue (growth spotted, no pain yet, but CT scan shows problematic angle).

Optional tasks:

1Watch Adolescence.

2Avoid burgers and fried chicken for the week.even if it happens, don’t beat myself up or force myself to purge.

3Buy a new t-shirt.

4Apply for a Korean 5-year visa just need to bring basic documents—stop overthinking.

Notes: Small tasks, but after weeks of spirals and hesitation, any forward motion is valuable.
