Dialling Back Duolingo

I got my achievement - 1st in Diamond League. The rest can be done on my own time. This morning was my first morning in a while where it was entirely for fun, entirely at my own pace. Much better. I did fifteen minutes of practice. I finished the book I was reading (Natalie Simpson, "Thrum"). Made a very minor change to my forever project, and planned some work for this week. Had breakfast and a cup of coffee.

Wow but does this feel better. More balance. I need to get back to writing, to coding, to guitar and fiddle. Duolingo's gamification hooks are exquisitely designed. And now they're out of me.
