JOURNALS

Oh, Friday, you've been quite a day! I started the morning by cracking open the shiny packaging of my new 3D printer. It was like welcoming a new toy into the studio playground. Of course, this little gadget had to do its firmware update dance before I could really play around. Pardon the pun, but I suppose every 'print'-ern needs a moment to settle in.

By the time I was done playing with my electronic companion, I realised the day had slipped a bit. The mindful breaks I scheduled were a breath of fresh air, though. These short pauses truly helped keep me stress-free. They’re now a staple in my routine, making productivity not just a buzzword but a reality. Lunch was a nice interruption, a moment to savour before diving back into work mode.

Post-lunch, I ticked off a crucial task: wrapping up and exporting the #Weeknote video. It's quite rewarding to see it all done and dusted. I shifted back afterward to ensure the Daybook was primed and ready for Monday. This involved tweaking documentation, which, while at times tedious, feels worth it when everything aligns just right.

As the clock edged towards the end of the workday, I found myself packing up to head home. The 3D printer beckoned with its siren song, but I resisted. The novelty, while delightful, was a bit of a distraction throughout the day. Hopefully, it'll soon find its spot amongst the other tools, like ol' faithful Epson.

In moments of reflection, I found gratitude in the details: the successful operation of the 3D printer, the luxury of time to engage with it, and the joy of good food. These joys, however small they seem in the grand scheme, kept me smiling through the end of the day. Here's to keeping the balance and braving new tech—and maybe sneaking in a few more mindful breaks.
