JOURNALS

Wednesday: I started the day plotting out the "How I do my generative handwriting" video. This was followed by outlining a blog post around the same topic. It felt good to get a clear structure down, making it easier to follow through with the actual content creation later.

Before lunch, I tried to configure my new keyboard. This task was more challenging than anticipated, involving a lot of key remapping and experimenting with different configurations. It's always fun to try new tech, but it can be quite consuming, taking a chunk of the day.

After a quick lunch break, I moved on to working on the code for mirroring SVG files. This task carried on for the rest of the afternoon. The intricacies of flipping the design to match my aesthetic preferences took more time than expected. Still, it's a fascinating process. Around 3:45 PM, I hit a breakthrough and it felt rewarding to see the mirrored designs come together closer to my vision. However, it did mean I had less time for other pending tasks.

By late afternoon, around 4:30 PM, I was still working on the mirror code. It's one of those tasks that pulls you in, and before you know it, the day's almost over. This kind of deep work is tiring but satisfying, particularly when you see tangible results by the end of it.

Finally, around 5:30 PM, I wrapped up for the day. The evening gave me a chance to reflect on the whole sale of the old studio, which has been draining. The waiting period with no clear timeline adds a layer of stress that's hard to shake off. This uncertainty looms over every other task, making it harder to find joy in the routine work.

Nonetheless, today was a day of small wins, and even though the progress felt incremental, it’s these steps that push projects forward.
