Hi, Hello! My name is Sarah - the writer behind redgregory.com.
Firstly, I Shaved My Head Finally!
I wanted to buzz my hair or over a year, and with the help of quarantine, I've mustered the courage. I'm very happy with the outcome. ✂️

I want to show you the unwind checklist that I made in Notion that compiles my Mood Tracker and Productivity Tracker into one database. In addition, is a general nightly checklist that includes "Dog Walk," "Call Mom," "Read," and "Meditate." The two external trackers are migrated into an unwind database via the self-referential function.

Above is what the self-referential "Productivity Tracker" looks like. Instead of selecting a productivity rate via a select property, I filtered each view to represent each selection. Upon a new entry, the following fields will be populated:
- Selected productivity rate
- Today's date

The mood tracker does a similar action with different selects (poor day, satisfactory day, great day)

These self-referential databases also have templates to quickly add emojis based on selections:

My Mood Last Week
I'm planning to track my mood through the entire year in order to better understand what is making my poor days poor and what I need to do to fix them - hence, the "cause" property.
👀I would classify this week as NERVOUS. 👀
- BEST DAY: Tuesday, June 23rd
- WORST DAY: Saturday, June 27th
