JOURNALS
I started my morning by settling into the studio. Knowing there was no jury duty today but still feeling a bit lost, I tried to direct my focus towards writing the newsletter. I realised this was the first time in a while I wasn't tied to external obligations, so I decided to make the most of it.
The first task was to set up nginx to handle the redirect of shop.revdancatt.com from the Shopify servers to my own. This needed to be done to maintain a seamless shopping experience for visitors. By mid-morning, I managed to get that set up, which was a relief and felt like a step in the right direction.
By late morning, I finally got into writing the newsletter for next week. It's an important task as the plan is to establish a rhythm where I'm always a week ahead. This not only takes a bit of the pressure off but also opens up the possibility of doing an audio or video recording of the newsletter for a more engaging approach.
After lunch, I tried to balance my tasks with short breaks for mindfulness, involving a bit of walking around and some light stretching. These efforts seemed to pay off as I felt more productive and less stressed.
The afternoon involved contacting the bank about my finances, which felt necessary but tedious. Yet, finishing this call gave me a sense of accomplishment. It's another action towards sorting things out financially, even though it's not entirely solved yet.
Thinking of creative ideas, my mind kept circling around print and plotting, zine making, and the postal service idea. I didn't get much time to explore this creatively but managed to make mental notes for future reference.
By the end of the day, I reflected on how good it felt to finally finish the newsletter, though it took all day again. I'll need to find a way to get faster, but at least it's done. I also realised I didn't touch Stripe integration, which remains on the to-do list.
Before wrapping up for the day, I felt a bit lost without the structure jury duty had given me, which I hadn't expected to miss. But the open schedule allows me to pour myself into productive activities, and that’s what I aimed to do today.
