Mew, peeps! I joined #Finch, thanks to inspiration from a lovely friend of the miaolings here on Mastodon! My birb is named Bamboo and they are still a baby. They spend their time walking long distances in the forest, which is pretty much what I wish I could do all day. We’ll see how the app works for me, but so far I have a good feeling about it.

My birb gets to carry around a little rubber ducky. I’m so happy for them!

Little Bamboo couldn’t finish all their tasks today 😭

My birb baby Bamboo doesn’t like the Very Hungry Caterpillar because they are jealous of caterpillars!

I had an upsetting phone call (aren’t they all) to make but knowing that I could mark it off on #Finch helped me get it done. 🎉

Productivity update: The #Finch micropets make cute little noises when you tap them. I have been petting someone’s baby duck micropet and I just can’t get enough of it. I wish I could see the names of other people’s micropets.

#Finch dilemma: If I sell our birdhouse door, I can afford a basket of black carrots for Bamboo to carry around. But maybe we need a door.

My birb is naked until I can decide how to dress them

Believe it or not, I am looking forward to cleaning litter boxes later today because Bamboo will get to hatch a new micropet!

Four weeks of #Finch and I can honestly say that it has had a beneficial impact on my ability to organize and follow through with tasks. It has also helped me punctuate my day with little moments of rest rather than press on with counterproductive task marathons that actually make it harder to get stuff done.

How could anyone ever afford a #Finch plushie for their birb for 15k rainbow stones?! Maybe Bamboo needs to start a savings account.

I’m considering adding my daily word games to my recurring #Finch goals so I don’t forget. The only one I never skip (or haven’t for hundreds of days) is Wordle. Even my favorite game Waffle gets forgotten now and then!

Yesterday I walked home carrying a giant maple leaf, and it occurred to me that my birb has a Dino leaf to snack on on their adventures. I did not nibble on my leaf, though I was tempted.

My #Finch birb Bamboo now has a blue mousie toy just like ChunChun’s favorite!

I’ve been on #Finch for 50 plus days now and it has been transformative. After a long day of tasks, I’m not at the point of meltdown. I prioritize things better and I don’t feel guilty about taking breaks. I feel better about what I get done and it costs less mental effort to do things.

I’m not like a new person or anything, but I so wish I had something like this years ago.

@littlemiao Also you have a birb with his own micro pet.

@lappenjammer And a fine little wardrobe that includes an elephant costume and cozy slippers. 🥺

@littlemiao A birb in an elephant costume 🥺? How cute!!

Can you actually post screenshots of Bamboo or doesn't the app allow it?

@lappenjammer Since you asked, here’s Bamboo in their green elephant costume with a Thai parasol, and micropet Pinecone

@littlemiao Oh this is impossibly cute 🥰 Thanks for sharing.
I can understand how caring for Bamboo's garments and accessories is important.

@lappenjammer It’s so silly but I love it!

All the chores and tasks I do now serve the higher purpose of enabling Bamboo to live in style

@littlemiao It's fun! Nothing silly about that :)
