JOURNALS
Today was a whirlwind, and that’s putting it mildly. My day started on a train to Birmingham for bank errands. The bank there is much easier to access than the one in Wolverhampton. The whole trip, including transit, took until lunchtime. Sitting on the train was relaxing, tuned into a podcast, and away from the usual hustle.
When I got back to the studio, I knew I was behind schedule. The afternoon was essentially reserved for shooting and editing the #Quarternotes video. I ended up rushing it, but done is better than perfect sometimes. However, I’m committed to giving future #Quarternotes the time and gravitas they deserve. Perhaps breaking the task throughout the week could help.
Video editing went faster than expected today. I figured starting with scripting and recording in the morning, then moving to editing in the afternoon works well for me. With the bank trip slicing through my day, I mostly did the editing in the afternoon. Managed to upload the video around 2:30 pm, then had some chill time at 3:18 pm.
At the day's end, I tidied the workspace. It's been one of those chaotic, busy days where tidying up feels like an achievement. I'm eager to sort the prints brought over from the old studio fully. The ultimate goal is to get plan chests once the old studio sells, which should offer ample storage for all these prints, keeping them safe from dust.
Reflecting on today’s hurried schedule, I realise it limited my creative process. But, I navigated the constraints effectively, ensuring key tasks were completed. Hoped to evaluate things without frustration or blame, just moving forward with adjusted plans.
Wrapping up the day, I realised knowing that I have another trip to Birmingham coming up should signal better organisation next time. So, I’ll work on integrating travel plans seamlessly into the workflow, ensuring better preparation.
Finished the day with another podcast in ear and thoughts on better structuring #Quarternotes videos going forward. It’s clear a more deliberate approach is needed, but I’m positive about the lessons from today.
