Pingu

I'm sure I remember someone telling me, ages ago, that the penguin language on Pingu was reverse-Finnish or speeded-up Finnish or something. Apparently not, it's specifically made up to be penguin language in traditional make-it-sound-like-a-reach-language techniques (see link on FB).

Unfortunately, I apparently heard the other version before I got sceptical about that sort of thing. And once I've written something to my long-term memory without any caveats, there's no way of globally tagging everything I learned more than 15 years ago with "caution", or noticing the date on facts I recall. They all just look like facts.

The best I can manage is to re-examine them when they come up for some reason, but it's always running a bit behind, I start saying it, and then say "hang on, I just remembered, I have no idea if that's true..."

HabitRPG

I started HabitRPG from where I left off, junking all the nice but overcomplicated tasks and dailies which I think I'd over-done, and starting over with a list of six+ habits, no dailies, all geared to be things I feel good about doing, but often don't get round to.

Currently:

Todo item (anything on today's todo list, usually quite green or blue)
Admin (Updating todo lists, etc. May combine this with above)
Exercise (Any of my official "jog 2+ times a week", but also any extras)
Hobby (Any of my own projects, not just "anything for fun", but things I need to make time for if I want to do them, like ongoing classes, or programming projects, fiction or game design)
Ongoing Social (Anything that doesn't happen automatically every week, like making plans to see mum or non-cambridge friends)
Self-care/ablutions (Shower, shave, brush teeth, etc. Also remembering to eat when I'm hungry if applicable etc)
Housework (Anything it's useful to do a little bit of every day)
Long-term (Any long-term TODOs)
Medium-term (Anything on my TODO list that doesn't absolutely have to be done today... I'm especially trying to change from doing none of these until they're urgent, to doing some of these...)

What I have always found difficult is that some of these are naturally green, but others are naturally yellow or red, because even an ideal rate of doing them will be slow by comparison. I can't remember if that's adjustable with task difficulty or something? But I'm slowly getting used to the idea that it works ok like that. If I do my day-to-day tasks until they're mostly green, I can leave them and that's usually ok, and work on the longer-term ones. After all, I want to do all of them "sometimes", if I do two long-term tasks in a row, that's probably better, I don't need to be prioritising medium tasks over them especially.

Is it as good or better to aim for a target heart rate with a monitor, as to aim for a target pace?
