  "textContent": "Last week was the busiest I have been at work in a very long time! Thankfully, normal service should resume soon (I hope.)\n\nLooking forward, I'm going to challenge myself with a 7,500 steps a day challenge (average!). This number of steps is over twice my average so far this year but still seems achievable.\n\nFor the next 30 days, I am going to try and keep my average steps above 7,500. It's already made a difference today as I got out for a nice Sunday walk earlier today. It should mean I actually leave the house a bit more often that I currently do...\n\nI am also going to re-consider reducing mindless media consumption. Reels, scrolling.. Bad. Reading a book, playing a video or boardgame.. good! Next week, I want to reduce my phone screentime by 20% and I'm going to do this by actively trying to read my e-reader more.\n\n### Gaming & Reading\n\nI finished Dragon Quest I Remake today. The game was very good, but as I do with many JRPGs, I really think the last third dragged! Onwards to Dragon Quest II! (and maybe VII when the new remastered version eventually has it's first sale)\n\nI also tried to play a bit of 'Legend of the River King' for my Four in February challenge. Hmm. I really didn't get on with it's archaic menu system, but perhaps I should give it a second try on a day when I am little less exhausted.\n\nOn the reading front, I read through this months magazine subscriptions (Retro Gamer, Table Top Gamer, Country Walking, and PC Gamer). I am so grateful to be able to read this for free digitally. Subscribing to all of these would cost a small fortune every month. I also made progress with the next Dungeon Crawler Carl book \"The Curse of the Bedlam Bride\". I absolutely adore this series, and it keeps getting better.\n\n### Movies and TV\n\nHa, I didn't really get much chance this week to watch very much.\n\n### Cool Internet Things\n\nVanguard - The Government Project to get British Businesses to use the Internet\n\nYes you can totally LASER engrave a banana to exfiltrate data from your secured premises\n\n#### Watch LEGO towns get washed away\n\nHow come I didn't find this sooner?\n\n#### Jet lag the game comes to the UK\n\n### Time Tracking Summary\n\nTo follow...\n\n* * *\n\nThis is post 11 of #100DaysToOffload.\n\n* * *\n\nTo respond on your own website, write a post which contains a link to this post - then enter the URl of your page here.
