JOURNALS
Today started off slowly. I woke up with a lingering headache, likely due to a caffeine imbalance, so the plan was to take it easy. Time spent editing the weeknotes video did, however, present a silver lining. Despite this being my primary task for the day, I had to take much-needed breaks to manage my discomfort.
I aimed to complete the weeknotes video by the end of the day, which felt like a simple yet necessary goal. My history of juggling various productivity techniques reminded me that sometimes less can be more, even on slower days like today.
My workflow still leans heavily on simple to-do lists stored as text files, keeping everything straightforward. While many productivity apps and software continually pop up, promising to change the way I organise my tasks, I find these tools tend to overcomplicate rather than simplify. My work setup doesn't require the complexity that others might, so I continue to rely on my no-frills system.
Besides focusing on the video, the day demanded a couple of phone calls. One was to order plan chests for the studio, the other for booking a dentist appointment. Finding the right moment to tackle these tasks was challenging, but small breaks in video editing gave me the perfect opportunity.
Reflecting on today's progress with the weeknotes video, I discovered that filming with a new camera made the filming and editing process noticeably easier. Even though the video editing took up more of the day than anticipated, the enjoyment I found in the updated camera functionality reaffirmed that the effort was worthwhile.
That said, the headache hovered in the background, reminding me of the importance of taking frequent breaks to manage my screen time. I'm keenly anticipating the arrival of new glasses, hoping they'll relieve the strain on my eyes and make my daily activities more comfortable.
The most rewarding part of the day was the simple bliss of creating without the usual intense headache. Plus, the prospect of acquiring an updated Mac offers the promise of making video editing smoother and quicker. These little advancements in technology continue to impact my creativity positively.
