2025 Bingo, The New, New Cruelty And Lessons in Prevarication

It is time to reinstate The New Cruelty!!! Would that make it The New New Cruelty? For the uninitiated, this is my way of getting things done. Well painting and gaming stuff done. The Big Bug put a stop to it as well as life in general. Well here we are.

My energy on the low side lately. A side effect on the Big Bug. It seems to get in the way a lot. So in an attempt to move things forward I thought I would pay attention to the wider gaming community and a bit from the wider world too. Yes I am talking Painting Bingo as an adjunct to The New, New Cruelty. 

Then I thought maybe I could widen it out a bit. So it started with Painting Bingo. The big bug has taken away a good chunk of my mojo. Maybe having something to nark off would help. Then I thought if I could get myself to paint at least ten minis a month that would be an achievement. I mean I would like to do ten a week. The same should probably go for printing 3D minis. So I figured of I managed to double a target I could get a bonus. 

Then my brain got working. Which is hard work itself. Back In the Days of the Gold Old Days of The New Cruelty that I was managing four times the output and I had less on. So maybe I would put in the opportunity for some bonuses. If I manage to do double a target then I get extra jam. But only up to so much.

 

I figured that maybe I could spread it out to the rest of my life. The big bug has made reading difficult. Well reading anything of size. So maybe I could read a novel a month. Then I thought about putting some goals in there. 

So here we are. Instead of doing I am farting about with perhaps the most involved Painting Bingo ever. Such is my way. When I need an example of what procrastination looks like, I will come and look at this page/.It has taken a while to get it written because I keep running on empty. Its a good way to make me fart about for a few hours. The blocks for something about the way are really there because I can't think of something to put in there. I will know them when it happens.

Not much point in doing this if I don't get anything out of it. So I was going to give myself £50 for every block I completed. Then I worked out how much that would be. That seemed a lot. So then I thought maybe tone it down a little. Maybe half that.

Really this is an ambitious goal for me. My energy levels are low. Perhaps the lowest ever. Thanks to the Big Bug. So I am looking at this as part of a recovery plan. Exercise should form a part of this too. Maybe that is just a step to far at the moment. Getting the energy to do the basics is hard enough without medication.
