JOURNALS
Today was a bit of a mix with various unexpected twists and turns. My grand plan of documenting the studio setup was sidelined when I found myself tangled up in a minor fight with the standing desk. After way too much effort, it’s finally back in action. It was a testing reminder of how simple tasks often swerve off course, eating into valuable time.
Lunch was a simple affair and very much needed after the desk shenanigans. I’m convinced lunch breaks are the unsung heroes of productivity. It gave me just enough pause to refocus for the second half of the day.
I had planned to shoot a timelapse for my newsletter but, quite unexpectedly, ended up diving into setting up the Vestaboard instead. Despite initially deciding to hold off for a more elaborate video, my impatience won out. The coaxing allure of a finished studio pulled me in. Now it’s up and running—finally—and that’s a small victory I’ll gladly take.
The highlight of the day was catching up with a friend over some art chatter. Conversations like these are pure gold, often bringing fresh perspectives or solutions you never thought of. Today’s chat was no exception, offering clarity and sorting a few lingering thoughts on my projects, particularly around some pen plots I’ve been mulling over.
Studio organisation continues to be an ongoing battle. As much as victory seems close, today revealed there’s still more to tackle. My determination saw the standing table operational—no small feat, considering the instructions seemed to be written more as a test of patience than clarity.
Reflecting on the day, it’s clear distractions abound. But these diversions also occasionally present opportunities, even if they initially seem like setbacks. Now the studio is in better shape, almost ready to embrace more flow. Aspirin remains a necessary companion in times of challenge, proving itself a reliable ally in the small battles of everyday studio life.
So, while not everything went to plan, today’s been productive in its own eccentric way. Small wins seem to be today’s theme, and I’ll take them where I can.
