"Follow makeup tutorials" is pretty vague, do you have more specifics on what you're aiming for with that? Part of why I ask if because I know that I can find the functionally infinite array of tutorials overwhelming, and if I don't have a clear goal, I'll end up burning out.
The other part of why I ask is because I'm curious about your style goals — what do you want to be able to do that you can't currently do? Is this part of a larger endeavour to shape your style?
I haven’t done my makeup in so long. I’m re-learning basics rn. I just want to be able to have a natural look that I can put on in a reasonable amount of time. It’s Viet Lunar New Year this weekend, and I want to look nice. Specifically I want to work on contouring, as I have like no idea what I’m doing.
A 33 tome long book series can't be finished in 9 days. Ascendance of a Bookworm is my favorite thing in the world right now.

play skyrim. it'll make the 9 days feel like 9 hours
I'd try to use that time to study a language I've always wanted to speak.
I'd probably fail and do something utterly unproductive, but maybe you wouldn't.
I’ve wanted to learn Vietnamese for a while now. I start and then kinda fall off after a few days. I might give it a go again. Good idea!
Enjoy yourself.
Today, I got my nails done, my eyebrows waxed and picked out an áo dài for the upcoming lunar new year. I suppose I did enjoy myself ☺️

If you have a desktop computer with a somewhat modern graphics card you can give an hour or two trying to install kobold.cpp and a local large language model.
You can give your feet a good scrub down in hot water mixed with Epson salt and whatever fancy oils or nice smelling scents you want to throw in.
You can cook a big meal.
You can sort your kitchen and pantry out throw away the old fridge bad food stuff.
You can do some art. You can play a single player pen and paper game like Delve or a classic puzzle like sedoku
You seem to feel like you should learn Swift, but don't want to. If you're looking for tech growth, but can't get invigorated, maybe try a different direction?
Self-host a good first-app, like Nextcloud?
Watch build videos on Voron 3D printers?
Switch apps you can from the Play Store to Obtainium to prep for DeGoogling your life?
Make a server out of some old laptop?
Write scripts that automatically set up your PC when you reinstall?
Organize all your techy tools on a pegboard?
It’s been a goal of mine to create and finish an iOS app. I’m setting my sights pretty low right now. I’m just looking for the motivation to actually make something.
I’m interested in Docker as well. I’ve never been able to setup a container that actually works. I just got read up on it.
Rn I’m focusing on music.
Nice, all good options!
For iOS, I'd recommend Flutter, since that's where the market is going, and they have good quick start guides.
For Docker, it changed my world. I taught someone in these steps, they used GPT to do each step individually, but were required to learn what each part of the compose file did as they went. They used WSL in Windows, but doing it via CLI is key.
- Use docker-compose to start an Alpine Linux container and Docker Exec into it
- Get the id of the container with Docker PS
- Add an environment variable of THIS set to 1
- Swap Alpine Linix for Nginx, and open 127.0.0.1:80 on it so you can visit it from local host
- Mount a folder on the local machine into the container as a volume with an index.html page so Nginx will serve that page
Getting those basics down one step at a time will make all the rest soooooo much easier.
