On 6x10s and brief habits

 I'm both curious and infinitely distractible.  I have a hard time finishing things.  Usually, when I'm half done, I'm drawn to something new.  One of my strategies for dealing with this, with creating a bit of direction to my distractions, is a thing I call "6x10".  Here's what I wrote on April 10, 2018:

I want to begin a 6x10 (actually, a 5x10 b/c that will take me to the end of the school year).  Some ideas: meditate & write in journal, eat spinach, yoga, push ups, blog, write 30 mins, 10 names on the "people I admire" list, new set of haikus and noticings, 10 simple songs, buns of steel, NYT body weight workout.

The idea is that you try to do create brief habits (10 days each), but go serially from one to the next.  It's an idea I repeatedly returned to.  Sometimes the things are physical, sometimes they learning.  

At one point I know that I wanted to do two concurrent 6x10s -- one about learning and one about physical improvement.  Clearly, my haiku/noticing project was a previous 6x10.

The origin of the idea was maybe in pulling together strings of ideas about educational stuff.  Rather than reading one-off PD ideas, I would focus and read 10 articles about one things, and do some kind of summary of the ideas, then move on to the next.  "Deep dives"?
