The routine of the work week and the pressure of our job responsibilities can often get the best of us. However, whether it's putting more effort into your job, or finding one that makes you truly happy, its time to commit to your career.
"I've discovered apps that allow scheduling posts on Twitter and TikTok which is very helpful. I can finally dump all my planned posts into one place!"
"I worked a whole hour on holding my pencil with a overhand grip as I practice circles and ellipses. I first tried drawing them without the practice worksheets, then I used the practiced worksheets, then I tried again without the practice worksheets. Also I worked on the “run the track” exercise and that explains the page with the wonky shapes. I couldn’t take a pictures of every page I did but I’m sure I drew 100s of circles, ellipses and shapes. It was boring at first but then I got obsessed with trying to get the perfect circle. I did end up drawing a handful of perfect ones. Most of the ones I drew unfortunately had tails or didn’t connect but as I practiced that reduced. I still have lots more practice to do and will probably from here on out use the circle and ellipse drawings as warm ups for future days. So to sum it up today I got a little better at sharpening my pencil with a X-Acto knife, holding my pencil with a overhand grip, using my shoulder and arms to make big swoops and consistent lines rather then rigid lines with my wrist, improving my circles and ellipses, and tracing the same shape to improve my accuracy. "
"I’ve learned to sharpen my pencil with an X-Acto knife. This is so I can have a more variety of line weights in my art and also it encourages me to hold the pencil with a overhand grip rather then the writing grip I’m use to. "
"I did a better job yesterday, at trying to achieve better work life balance. I have to be mindful of the fact that it will be difficult and sometimes even seem impossible to achieve. However I need to keep going in that direction no matter what."
"you've been a mess lately but need to get back into it. I think curfew at 8pm with allowances until 10. I think allow yourself 21 mistakes this week. It's weird how you are looking forward to the weekend and that.
anyway, no need to do weird all in one meal thing? Don't think so. Just try some 5 meal a day eating.
important thing to add... just keep up with some daily things. "
"(1) Have been going to gym.
(2) Avoided temptations to socialize instead of working.
(3) Took advantage of imminent lockdown to sell things; also prepared by buying weights. "
"Je n'ai pas réussi à avancer, il faut que j'arrête de rendre des services / regarder netflix et que je consacre une tranche d'horaire pour bosser sur mon projet pro"
"20+ pitches today. About to start studying and building out more RE sales prospects. Targeting south austin (~5% turnover ratio, much better than my OG target of Hyde park (1.5% turn rate)). Hard workout tonight. Wedding plan with my gal. Active lead follow ups. Reading Sapiens. Still a lot to do tonight but The One Thing is done.... oh and i confirmed a few meetings for tomorrow night. essential work done. now for the icing."
"Feeling repetitive at times was what slowed me before in this process. Being repeatedly grateful is a good thing and I view it as a positive to stick with!"
"So with my Flatiron restart coming up next week on 7/13, I thought I'd review the prework by completing the bits I never got to, but weren't required.
However, they had revoked the prework from my course materials on Learnco. I asked the Education Director to help me get it back and he's been working on it since last week.
In the mean time, I skipped ahead to the Ruby course on Udemy I purchased a while back to get a good preview of rails and also re-acquaint myself with Ruby and maybe even fortify a few other skills like a few command line tricks.
I also learned that some people use vim for development and that's amazing. The course instructor, Jordan Hudgens, says he has a whole course on how to use vim because, and my own experience corroborates this, learning vim is almost like learning a programming language with all of its commands haha
Anyways, screenshots since 7/1 attached."
"I tried the photoshop yesterday downloaded the starter kit.i couldn't find the generate image tab, and I got stuck in the step.hope to figure it out the generate image."
"Beginning July 1st, I've been working at the COVID testing site in Santa Clarita. So I'm actually doing EMT/Set Medic work every single day. I've also been taking the Psychological First Aid course from Johns Hopkins on Coursera. Super grateful for the new job. It's awesome to know I'll be receiving a steady paycheck. It feels great to be an essential worker. I'm grateful to be making a difference in this pandemic."
"to manage conflict well:
1. to prioritise - know who is important. who can't be pissed off
2. do not overthink
3. Professional code of conduct. be objective no personal feelings. "
"conflict raised this week: Adam Holland from Daylight want me to call Si Dong Lin saying I do not know Wei Jia and Adam's share arrangement + % of share on hand. But in fact I know. "
