(Read up on what #Richards2016 is all\u00a0about\u00a0here<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re almost at the end of February 2016, babies! That means we’re basically\u00a02\/12 through the year! Or 1\/6! or 4\/24! Or LITERALLY ANY OTHER FRACTION OF AN EQUIVALENT\u00a0AMOUNT. The possibilities are endless, and so our are dreams.<\/p>\n

Speaking of dreams, let’s get right to this thing. BECAUSE IT’S SO DREAMY I GUESS?!?!<\/p>\n

February 20th: Love Your Pet Day<\/h3>\n

Now, this one is kind of hard to prove. But I do love my pets. And I\u00a0continued\u00a0<\/em>to do so<\/em> on February 20th. Don’t try and call me out on this one – it’s not a cop out. It’s just the best I can do. Look, here’s even a photo of me loving a pet! (Not taken on February 20th, but what it represents is what counts).\"11885384_10155918500965405_4472860948207175868_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

100% pure, true love right there. (This dog doesn’t actually love\u00a0me back btw, but that’s because he’s a BAD DOG). Bad dog!<\/p>\n

February 21st: Single Tasking Day<\/h3>\n

Here are the single tasks I did on February 21st:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I woke up.<\/li>\n
  2. I ate a whole load of brioche.<\/li>\n
  3. I made some coffee.<\/li>\n
  4. I did some writing. (Sketches that never actually got used anywhere in the end).<\/li>\n
  5. Like a hundred other things you don’t need to hear about.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Basically, I did try to deliberately only do one thing at a time. I have a bad habit of trying to do loads at once – brewing that coffee while loading the dishwasher between thinking up things to write about and picking something to listen to and checking Twitter at the same time. So just doing one thing at once was \u00a0a challenge for me.<\/p>\n

    Hell, even just closing Tweetdeck was difficult. I found myself reopening it out of habit. Am I addicted to social media?! Am\u00a0I a mediaholic? AM I ADDICTED TO MEDIAHOL?<\/p>\n

    February 22nd: Be Humble Day<\/h3>\n

    So easy.<\/p>\n

    I’m SO good at being humble that I even dressed humbly:<\/p>\n
