JOURNALS

Well, today was quite an adventure, wasn't it? Bright and early, I set my sights on a goal that has been buzzing in my head for a while: a meeting about the Digital Daybook. Just a casual chat with the work team to move things along. I didn’t foresee I'd enjoy planning out the day with it, but hey, it turned out to be quite useful. Meanwhile, the social media bug called my name; I took some time catching up on DMs. It’s refreshing replying to messages and reconnecting with friends, especially when you haven’t been on social as much lately. It’s a little mini-social detox, in a sense.

Now, here's the thing: performing a little act of kindness wasn’t too tough today. I decided to prepare some parcels for posting. The idea of sending someone a surprise in the mail—yes, proper snail mail—felt like a delightful throwback. Hopefully, it caters to cheering them up a few days later.

Working remotely always comes with its ups and downs. Though the ArtFrame pen plotter tempted me into more experiments, home is where work happened today, so the plotter projects had to wait. I did manage a quick peek at the code for oil pastels, though.

By the end of the work day, my productivity took a sunny turn. Tweaking the privacy notes for the Digital Daybook felt like a walk in the park—alright, maybe not, but at least it didn’t drag. Cracking into the writing later, rather than earlier, seemed to keep the workflow smooth. Knowing a bit more about how I tick is always handy. I wrapped things up with gratitude. Being toasty warm at home beats any shoddy heating elsewhere, right?

And you know, having a catch-up with the team felt pretty solid. With tasks done and finally winding down, it's onto evening projects. Who knows what tomorrow brings? But for now, it’s all about basking in that accomplished feeling.
