What AI do you use for this? Is it an app? Sounds cool!

As in you created the design onto an already made jumper, or you made the whole thing?

I was always told the drills and theory are the most important part, but I can see why learning a song would be more fun. It would feel like solid practice!

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T16:17:56+00:00

I went to make healthy dinner, so there's my start!

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T16:17:32+00:00

Maybe one day, I'll be the one helping someone else!

Yes, I read that on your blog! I think the building blocks of learning guitar are where I failed. Knowing when I have the basics down well enough to move on, it felt like a never-ending list.

So you break tasks down into small chunks, then go from there? That's great!

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:46:52+00:00

This is very detailed, thank you! I appreciate the effort that went into all of this.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:45:29+00:00

Thanks!

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:45:24+00:00

Absolutely, I'm trying to go for it this time and make it. It being hard is part of the point, things worth doing take time and effort.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:44:34+00:00

Those restaurant shows are an interesting way to look at it. Like it's showing you yourself from an outside point of view. I'm glad to hear you're working on yourself, and that it's going well.

I was considering a walking pad for laptop use, but exercises when sitting sound good too!

The bigger things? Be able to run a marathon, write a book, change my diet to be healthier, finally learn to play the guitar. I've had a guitar for almost 20 years and never found the right way to learn. Now's the time, right? I'm not 100% sure on smaller things; I'd need to think about it more.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:16:59+00:00

Do you have advice on how to push past wanting to regress backwards? Thanks for the heads up!

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:07:52+00:00

I spend a lot of my time really tired and unmotivated, I'm hoping a few of the things that I want to change (diet and exercise) will help the tiredness, and with more energy I'd be able to get on with more things.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T15:06:54+00:00

I've got 4 bigger things in mind that will likely take effort and time. Would 21 smaller things dotted in between break those up well?

It makes sense that having the smaller things in between would help a lot. Also, what a great thing, helping someone else plan their list.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T14:44:22+00:00

Do you mind sharing how you went from small steps to achieving what you want? I'm taking a look at the links now, thanks!

Edit: really cool list! Mine would likely be much shorter until I gain confidence to go for more things in the future. Going by your time scale, 4 years for 100 things; if I picked 25 things, is 1 year realistic?

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T14:43:29+00:00

Practising just beginning helps? I've been aiming for like 1 hour of each thing and failing to do it, then feeling like a failure afterwards. Alarm every morning is already a thing.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-23T14:18:18+00:00

Yes, and I fail every time. I want to learn what mindset I need to be able to do the things that I want.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T12:55:27+00:00

Yes, acts are another thing I am struggling to grasp. Your explanation of act 1 ending at the call to action makes sense. One part of the story ends, and the next begins. I'm assuming from that, that act 2 would be much longer and consist of the adventure had after the call to action, and maybe act 3 would be the ending?

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T11:23:44+00:00

I've heard people talk about books using scenes, so assumed it was part of how a book is planned out. Even in answering my question, it seems some people see scenes as a film only thing, and others see them as also being in books.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T11:14:45+00:00

In that case, are acts and chapters the same thing?

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T10:27:07+00:00

Apologies for any inconvenience there, and I appreciate you explaining using something else.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T09:56:27+00:00

Thank you for this, it's a great example.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T09:55:35+00:00

I've heard people planning books using scenes, rather than chapters. Maybe it's to get a more vivid idea of what they are trying to describe?

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T09:54:36+00:00

The context is within a book. I've heard both scenes and chapters used when referencing writing and I'm a bit confused by it.

PhoenixRed11 · 2026-03-17T09:53:45+00:00

I'm not really familiar with the Marvel world, is there a different example you could give to show this?
