JOURNALS

Today was quite the mixed bag. I started my morning by diving into the world of emails at about 08:55. It's always a joy to clear that inbox, or at least see it as organised chaos.

By 10:05, I found myself on Instagram, tweaking some photos for posting. Funny how "editing photos" quickly turns into "avoiding plotting journal pages." But I did get to plotting those pages by 10:53. I almost started replying to those emails too. Almost.

Just before noon, around 11:57, I found myself deep in the rabbit hole of a business coach’s website. The site was calm and pastel, but I couldn’t help but feel sceptical. It’s interesting to think about how these coaches thrive—teaching others to be coaches feels a bit... pyramid-y. Anyway, lunch was next on the agenda at 12:48. Always a good break.

The afternoon was all about the zine code. At 14:03, I was working on it and then continued to focus on page layouts for the zine at 15:04. The day's highlight was getting the zine pages ordered correctly. Now, I just need to add the content. It’s satisfying to see progress, especially when the code plays nice.

I had two scripts for videos that needed my attention. And I realised something significant today—shooting videos is a morning task, while scriptwriting and editing are best left for the afternoon. It’s no wonder I often felt stuck when trying to edit in the mornings. This little insight might help streamline things going forward.

After tackling some zine work, I focused on my Preseed project video script. I didn’t finish the script but felt the index cards would suffice. Tomorrow morning should be smooth for shooting. There's always something gratifying about prepping the groundwork.

Today was filled with tasks and reflections, with a hint of positivity despite that studio sale still looming over me. Information is hopefully coming next week, and I’m aiming to stay focused and worry-free until then. Fingers crossed!

And that’s a wrap for today. Here’s hoping tomorrow will be just as productive, if not more.
