Protect your time

I just posted a new vid on YouTube. I would’ve been done sooner but I decided to add background music to it. In doing that I needed to use an audio editor to cut and splice the music so that it was sufficient for the length of the video. It was a bit tricky but the loop came out alright and I like the way the vid turned out.

It was good to be able to work on my ink drawings again. I’ll be doing more of it this week, even if it’s just an hour a day. Everytime life gets busy my art and writing seems to be the things that are sacrificed and pushed aside. As if they’re not important enough to fit into my life. Although no matter how long I fall into a slump, I’m always drawn back into drawing and writing (pun not intentional).

What I hope to accomplish by planning, tracking, putting out videos, is that it’ll become a new habit that I’m not willing to set aside so easily.

So here’s a quick run-down of which specific goals were reached this week:

• I stayed on top of my daily meditation and exercise thrice a week.
  
• I journaled twice (minimum).
• I worked on an ink drawing.
  
• I wrote (am writing) a blog post.
  
• I created and posted another YT vid.
  

What I did not get to do:

• An hour of gaming (this is usually on Sundays). Instead I watched the new episode of Dr. Who. I suppose that counts as leisure time.
  

What works:

• Planning the week and dividing it into home, work, and personal projects. The portion I’m sharing with you is comprised of personal projects.
  
• Creating templates for YT.
• Utilizing spreadsheets to manage projects and checking off on it throughout the week as a I progress.
  
• Focusing on my health since my energy levels obviously drive how much I accomplish.

What doesn’t work:

• Not getting enough sleep (see above re: health)
  

It’s snowing outside and I have a few things to take care of so I can hit the drawing board this evening.

How has your week been? Are you working on any personal projects at the moment?

Be well,
