JOURNALS
Today, Wednesday, zero creativity. Instead, I’m setting things in motion for future projects. I’m aligning my focus on the tutorials, zine work, and a rotating third slot for project-based tasks. The challenge is working out my daily splits: video shooting is best done early in the quiet morning, but that clashes with my gym time. Quiet work first, gym mid-morning, followed by focused work - that might be the way forward.
The estate agents have been a considerable frustration lately. I’ve been adopting the “squeaky wheel gets the grease” approach, making daily visits and keeping up with emails to the solicitor. While it’s tiring, it’s vital to keep the pressure on. Passive waiting isn’t an option when clarity is needed.
My theme for the day is Zen-like calm. The studio has seen better days; it’s cluttered and in need of reorganisation. A tidy space fosters a clear mind. I started by sending out a few emails, then moved on to tidying the studio. That involved shooting a little video about making a page divider for September. There’s satisfaction in crafting, and it’s always good fun. The session was interrupted by the need to clear more space, getting the studio ready for a planning session.
This afternoon was more structured. Tidying continued, bringing more order to the space. A fresh start is what I’m aiming for. My Zoom call at 3 pm was a significant punctuation mark for the day - lots of decisions and finalisations happened then, which shapes the days to come.
Reflecting on the day, my planning was thought but not as exhaustive on paper. Studio tidying will overflow into tomorrow along with further planning. On a positive note, the physical work improved my mood. Zen-like calm did find a way in through the clutter, and a clear pathway seems visible now.
I’m finding being proactive with the estate agents effective. It’s frustrating when they’re opaque, but pushing for answers and even requesting email logs keeps them on their toes. The hope is they resolve things quicker to get me off their backs, which feels like effective progress.
