Home Decor

• No updates this week! Have a couple DIY projects in progress but not ready to share just yet.

Consumption

• Watched Love, Guaranteed with Dallas on Netflix, couldn't even finish it because it was so awful though
• Found this great music video from Mild Monk called Little Paradise
• Came across this inspirational video on a day in the life of Tony Anderson, an ambient music producer. Takes a bit to get past his style of humor but once you get over that a lot of what his says really resonates with me personally.
• I've been listening to a lot of ambient music lately as I work on my own ambient album and came across this great playlist called Cloud Gazing on Spotify. Highly recommend it for background noise to focus to!

Personal

Took some time to reset my mental state this past week. Like I mentioned in last week's post, I had been feeling pretty overwhelmed with life and didn't have much of a sense of direction. I had ideas and goals overall, but I had no plan for them and always treated my goals as a thing I'd get to "some day".

Happy to say I came up with a great plan and prepared myself well to start working on my goals that I've been putting off. I did research on different productivity systems and ways to set and achieve goals and came up with a framework that I felt worked best for me.

Afterwards, I consolidated my goals into 4 main areas and created scheduled blocks for each throughout the week that I want to work on. That way when I have blocks of time I'm not aimlessly trying to think of goals to work on—I have a set time and task list that I can reference each time depending on the block that is scheduled. Finally, I also revamped and organized both my Things and Notion workspace to be focused on my new schedule and goals.

• Worked out 7 times this week
• I was online 42.7 hours this week, mostly in Figma and Slack. 96% of my time was productive.
• I walked 31,251 steps this week, for an average of 4.5k per day
• I slept 47 hours this week, for an average of 6.7 hours per night
• Reset my entire time management system and schedule around my new goals as mentioned above
• Had an intake appointment for therapy to go over my struggles and goals for therapy to get matched with a therapist, I have my first appointment with them next Wednesday. I also scheduled 2 other therapy appointments to see if I can find a match for the type of therapy I find the most helpful (this is your friendly reminder to find a therapist!)
