The Great Raemondo
oooo, I've just thought of a bonus newt. I could probably have saved it for another day, but it was quick to implement right now and will hopefully be useful for future newts!
I've started a 'short project bank' list - a collection of short, one and done type projects including some details and estimated time to complete the whole thing, and populated it with two ideas. Hopefully it will help with getting distracted by a shiny new idea and wanting to start on it right away - I can just add it to the bank and then when I have an afternoon or evening where I don't know what to do I can pick something from the bank that should fit the available time.
(I know that in some ways this is just a to-do list with ideas of grandeur, but it's explicitly NOT for things that are dull and need to be done repetitively, like laundry, clearing my desk, or doing the manual washing up. It's for things that are nice rather than necessary)

As I’m new to this I need to ask a very basic question. Is it something new each day? Or a continuation of the new thing? Or something else?

The garden shed is my domain, it used to be cluttered with bikes but that problem was resolved when someone broke in and removed them for us. The conservatory is my sewing/craft/exercise space

It's whatever you want it to be Jenny. Whatever makes sense to you. As V-rap said: the small things are just as important as grand schemes.
Your room is a continuing new thing I imagine? You might discover new things about it each successive day. If the room itself is new (and it is) then it's probably Johnny Voyage of Discovery each day.
But that doesn't stop you seeing stuff when you're outside, doing some small thing differently - you get the picture.

Good newt Lgj
My newt today was hill repeats - 30 seconds "sprinting" up what passes for a hill around here (seeing as it's only 30s even our little lumps have long enough 3-5% gradients in them)
Hopefully this is a once a fortnight new thing to do

Ok that’s great. My room is new because I moved everything round to put the bed next to the window so I can look at the sky while I’m lying down. Before that it was more of a spare room with stuff dumped in it (by me usually)

My today newt is that I signed up for a ‘beginner singing’ course that starts this evening. VERY sadly because it’s on Zoom none of the other participants will be able to hear me.
