    I use it on and off, and have done since the summer of 2020. I enjoy it and I do feel like it's a good workout, but I also know that for me, gamification 100% works on me. The idea of beating a level and/or the boss makes me feel really good.

    I'm working on a conference portfolio folder for work, I need something to carry various paper but I want something nice. I've sewn most of it, it's almost finished and then the only other thing I have to sew are plain tops for work.

    I also do sublimation so I've been printing on a lot of mugs and coasters!

    I'm currently enjoying Pikmin Bloom, which is a walking game. You walk around planting flowers in your area/town/whatever and you send your Pikmin to fight mushrooms and collect various types of nectar.
    Think Pokemon Go, but much easier to play and you don't need to stare at your phone all the time when you're out walking. It is by the same company Niantic, and while you can pay for stuff, it is absolutely not necessary.

    Am I supposed to be practicing embalming?

    It ain't going to be easy for the first time but believe it or not, cutting your own hair is no different than any other skill like shaving, cutting nails, massaging or embalming, etc. after a bit of practice.

    Am I supposed to be practicing embalming?

    I used Habitica for my everyday stuff, because gamification works on me.

    Microsoft To-Do for my lists like crafting, teaching etc, and because my work uses Outlook for emails, it's easy to access from my work account. The little "ding!" when you complete a task is pure dopamine for me.

    I learned how to do needlefelting in the past year! It's a lot of fun. I liked dry felting rather than wet. I'm off work for a couple of months, I hope to do some more over the summer!

    I use instagram as a digital portfolio, and from there to my FB feed and maybe Twitter, though not as much these days. I used to use Flickr for my photography, but I had so many photos there at once that I had to cull when they imposed a limit of 1gb for free users that I stopped using it.
