This was really popular last week, I was really impressed with how many hardworking hobbyist type people we have here. It got me motivated to do some of my own things.
As a reminder, this thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
Also naming the thread. Tinker Tuesday or taskmaster Tuesday, or something else? I switched the thread to Tuesday instead of Monday because the culture war thread refreshes on Monday.

Notes -
Have tried a gajillion types of accountability, and find I rebel against it all. I might want to do it the day I ask for the accountability, and I might still want it done a week later, but at the time I’m supposed to be doing it, I can’t make myself do it and revert to something more interesting and rewarding (in the short term). Maybe that means my life won’t amount to more than a hill of beans, but maybe subconsciously what I really want is a hill of beans.
I know what you mean, though I also noticed that I do get focused when I'm running into a deadline, or there's some sort of a fire under my ass, so I'm hoping to emulate that.
But like you, previous attempts at self imposed accountability have been more annoying that successful, so I completely understand if people don't want to jump in.
