Some ideas I might work on (1)

I am rather prone to making big plans and following through on none of them. I'm going to do that again, writing down a list of things I think I would be interested in, and that aren't already necessary (such as studying for the Physics GRE, or doing my homework on time, or completing my undergraduate thesis).

---List of things I might do---

Work on my Youtube channel, which was intended to be a short-form science-communication channel. It has no videos, and I haven't meaningfully worked on it for about a year. Maybe three years, actually.
The Discord channel below is where I keep my notes and post my cries for help about my inability to work (much in the same tone as this post here).

Work through the solutions of previous physics classes -- ok, so the professors of several of my classes posted solutions to all the homeworks after the due dates passed. But I didn't do every homework assignment. So I've had the plan to work through all these homeworks I never did, using the solutions as a guide, and review a bunch of things I found interesting but never set aside time to work on. This includes plasma physics, which is something I find very interesting.

Read papers about hydrogen fusion -- this ties into the Youtube channel and the physics homework idea.

Write fanfiction and image descriptions of fanart
-- I've done a bit of this, and it's quick and easy, so I should do more of it. It's at least a little fulfilling, and I enjoy doing it.

Write down my imaginary songs -- sometimes, when I'm not scrolling endlessly, I imagine some half-baked songs playing in my head. I've never written them down, and they fade away pretty quick, but I might start recording them, sorta like a dream journal but for stuff that I imagine when I'm conscious. Ok, this includes writing down story prompts (which I do sometimes record).

Organize my files and my social media -- including this post, and my Tumblr profile.
