For a while, I have been suffering from some kind of burnout from work. While I had many things I wanted to work on, at the end of the day I lacked the energy. I would sometimes make a little progress during my weekly mokumokukai , but always felt the progress was too slow.

Even then, I would often crave some kind of feeling of achievement. Since I was not able to feel a since of achievement from work, I turned to some Artificial Achievements via games.

For a while, my game of choice has been Final Fantasy 14 . The game itself provides plenty of achievements, but then I can also set my own goals.

• Working through all the various Tribal Quests - DONE
• Working through all the various side quests - DONE through Stormblood
• Leveling up various alt jobs - IN PROGRESS

Now that I am taking a break from work to recharge batteries, I hope to have more concrete achievements to work towards. One of the first things I want to do, is go through and document a few of my projects I have been prototyping. Having some of my projects better documented will be a good achievement as I gear up to put more time into them.
