JOURNALS
This Tuesday was a productive day. I spent the morning diving into my admin tasks, which took me till around 9:30am. Then, I switched gears to focus on the penplotter.com website. This chunk of the morning flowed well as I meticulously worked on fleshing out the course modules and lessons. By about 11:30am, I was deep into adding resources and links—time-consuming, but necessary to get it right.
After a quick lunch break, I got back to adding resources to the website. Finishing this part felt like a relief. By mid-afternoon, I had wrapped up all the outlines and resources for the course. This ticked off a big item on my to-do list and left me feeling satisfied with the progress.
One creative activity for the day was sketching. I’ve been meaning to get back into it, especially to refine my drawing skills. Although it was brief, the sketching session in the evening was refreshing. Doodling with no particular plan reminded me how much I enjoy this activity. Maybe I need to incorporate this more into my routine, even if it’s just for a short while each day.
In terms of relaxation, I’ve been working on switching off screens after 8:30pm. Last night, I stuck to this plan and read some newsletters and Reddit posts until then. This change is definitely helping my evenings be more calming and less hectic. Reading before bed is becoming a nice, quiet way to unwind.
Reflecting on my workflow, I've noticed it's almost too streamlined now. The simplicity makes me second-guess if I should be doing more. One actionable step I took today was to stick to stopping work at 4pm for my studio shutdown routine. It’s a good habit that’s helping keep things orderly.
I'm still waiting for the estate agent update concerning the studio sale. Patience is running thin, but I’m trying to stay positive. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much news today, but I’m hopeful for something in the next few days.
Overall, today balanced productive work and creativity well. Looking forward to diving back into the website tomorrow and maybe sneaking in another sketch session.
