 This is an important, interesting problem. I added a column to my spreadsheet for "goals minutes". Until I figure out my life goal(s), I intend to spend at least 5 minutes of FI posting time per day thinking about or freewriting about this topic.
 
-From 2020-11-11 through 2020-11-30 (inclusive), the minimum amount of minutes per day I spent thinking about or freewriting about my goals was 0 (I forgot on one day), and the average was 8.35.

Most of that time was spent on my [SMB1 speedrunning project](https://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion/reply/19328#19008).

 ## Practice conversational writing
 
 I have a habit of writing in an overly stiff or formal way. I don't write like I talk. I want to try writing more conversationally, but I still want the benefits I get from editing my text. In http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18413 , I suggested:

 Getting better at writing conversationally may also help me get better at thinking out loud. One way it could help me do this is by shortening the amount of time it takes me to write posts. I wrote about this in [a curi.us comment](http://curi.us/2204-alisa-discussion#18275).
 
-## Spend enough time on FI
-
-Since 2020-10-03, when I set myself the goal of spending at least 30 minutes per day posting to FI (as measured by a clock), I've averaged 63 minutes per day. Some of this time has been spent brainstorming or freewriting. That wasn't originally part of how I was planning to spend my measured time, but I'm changing my goal to include that.
-
-I've since changed my goal to also include time spent working on my life goals, which includes my smb1 speedrunning project. Since 2020-12-01, I've averaged 116 minutes per day posting to FI or working on my life goals.
-
-Note: The total amount of time I spend on FI is more than what's counted above, because I keep up with FI list, the curi.us comments, and the FI newsletter, and I don't normally count that time.

 ## Practice freewriting
 
 My goal is to freewrite every day for at least 5 minutes. I've had this goal since 2020-10-05, and as of 2020-11-11, I've made approximately zero progress towards it. To help me remember to do it, I added a column for "freewriting minutes" to my the spreadsheet where I track my daily FI posting time. When I update my learning plan in the future, I will include the minimum amount of time I spent freewriting for any day during the period as well as the average amount of time spent freewriting over the period.
 
-From 2020-11-11 through 2020-11-30 (inclusive), the minimum amount of minutes per day I spent freewriting was 0 (I forgot on one day), and the average was 5.2.
-From 2020-12-01 through 2021-01-02 (inclusive), the minimum amount of minutes per day I spent freewriting was 0 (I forgot on 5 days), and the average was 4. I think I may have actually remembered to freewrite on a few of the 5 of days for which I have no record, but I forgot to track it. I'm going to start adding dates and start and stop times to my freewriting notes, rather than tracking it separately.

 ## Post to FI every day
 
 My goal is to post at least once per day, except when I'm taking a break. I may take up to two breaks per year, each of which could last for up to two weeks. Starting 2019-12-01, I will log (in my records) the URL of at least one of the FI posts I make each day.
