If there is one thing worth committing to, it's your education. Whether it's doing well in school, reading a new book, or learning a language, taking the time to sharpen your noodle is the wisest investment you can make.
"completed my first animated video today. I am officially an animator.. this pandemic is a challenge and has made things almost impossible.. never giving up working harder becoming stronger and still doing everything I can.. "
"I am reading Tao and Steven Covey's Habits of Highly Effective people. I am resolving my 'stuck' state to 'fluid' state where I study as a recreational activity. Why take anything seriously? Be organized, be disciplined mentally like I am physically. Securing emotions is hard. I have to be organized and disciplined here also."
"Today able to complete several todos and Complete Anki flashcards. Yesterday I didn't upload a screen shot because I had to cram homework due to procrastinating which is what I am trying to stop. "
"I've switched the books that I'm reading, I'm now focusing on A Life in Parts by Bryon Cranston. The chapters are shorter but I'm reading three or four a night instead of two chapters a week. The details of the goal have changed, but the overarching goal is the same."
"Ich habe den Fragebogen für mich erstellt und mit Hardy geteilt.
Nun wird Hardy diesen weiterentwickeln und im IC der PBA teilen.

"Strong consistent returns and intermittent priority updating when useful, the first and last blocks of the day are the most useful for steering overall course"
"Yeh, end times, what can I tell you.
I spent an age working on OBS (broadcasting programme for online streaming). I stayed up late night after night, testing and debugging this whole thing so I could stream on simultaneous platforms on Sunday Nights.
I neglected the songs, and sleep. And didn't get much exercise. And ate a lot of crap. BUT.
Sunday night, I pulled off something which I wanna build on. I streamed live on all 3 platforms using a Chatroom that combined all the comments into one place. I took requests and let people Add songs to the queue live. I had screen transitions, background audio and a nice big condenser mic to pick it up.
Still a couple of bugs to work out, still learning the ropes. Steep learning curve. But with Everyone stuck at home, and my gigs on ice indefinitely, there's no better time to figure out how to do this for real on the internet.
So yeh, now that I've climbed outta that pit of heavy learning, I gotta get busy. ASAP. I have songs that desperately need finished lyrics. And chord sheet that need locked down.
I feel bad for not doing more with it this week. In honestly I'd say Stickk should take my $37 stake this week, but in reality - talk about extenuating circumstances...! Every single house in lockdown! Who saw that coming 8 weeks ago...??
I'm gonna get these songs done if it kills me. I'm annoyed that it's taken this long and is gonna be a rush to meet the Sunday deadline. But on the bright side - I've nothing else to be getting on with... no excuses.
Hope everyone's well. Family is so important.
I hope we can return to some sort of normality soon. At least it's allowing people more time to be creative at home.
take care

"Finished both the Anvil and lighting tutorial. Read couple of blog posts about interactive storytelling.
Didn't get to start learning UE4 again, because of my poor schedule, ignoring routines, impulsiveness, unfocused slow working and depression. "
