    Probably fix my desktop computer. It’s been down since 2017, with a failing PSU, bad capacitors, and a bad chipset fan.

    I already have all new replacement parts I need to fix it, for the third time no less, but I just haven’t felt like outright doing it yet.

    Honestly, I’ll probably be more motivated to fix it if I get some sockets to install where the capacitors are, so I don’t have to keep torturing the board with the soldering iron in the future.

    I dunno, my 2 laptops have been good enough for me over the years since, maybe I’ll fix the desktop one of these days years…

    Honestly, pretty much everything I do is habit.

    If I have to actually think about doing something, it’s usually because something really bad just happened.

    For a while, I thought the answer to this was writing a book I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Then, after seeming years of thinking about it, I went to write it down only to realize it’s unwritable because of certain transitions that were not considered. Starting a week ago, the answer has become another writing project, but I’m not thinking about it that much anyways.

    • Get a new computer. My ageing HDD’s experience this intermittent issue with corruption which sometimes affects entire folders, typically larger ones which contain games. The HDD which stores Windows is also getting the same thing although not as bad. I’m also having issues with RAM and overall it’d be less hassle to just replace the whole computer rather than buying parts and fixing it.

    • Get a new monitor even though I just set a brand new one up yesterday after I ordered it from Amazon. I can definitely notice the difference between 350 nits (old) and 250 nits (new) even though other people can’t seem to notice any difference in the brightness

    Currently, plug in my phone to my laptop and organize all the loose audio files on my SD card. I have a lot of organized ones already, but probably more unorganized out of the over 500 files than organized. Would just take a while of me sitting down and working instead of feeling daunted by the task.

    Drink coffee. I grew up drinking tea and I love drinking tea, and there’s a place where I live that makes exceptionally good loose leaf, but coffee is way more commonly drunk here but I’ve never thought to try it.
