One of the most effective techniques I try ti use is conscious pause after completing the task. It works for both personal and work stuff.
As I said in previous post, I tried to write at least mini summary for the past year (it’s never too late) from the draft I had. It’s not a top, because lists contain dissapointing but memorable experiences.
Breaking news: switched blog to English (choose: hehe / not hehe).
January was a month of rest. I tried to maintain only old projects, with some exceptions (like this blog). However, there are many things I want to write about. It’s like monthly post – more about this format in blog section.
Trends:
- I’ve been using most of the apps for a long time;
- a slight tendency towards self-hosted;
- I try not to complicate things and often use default applications.
Made one more movie of the year.
There are no suprises in Top Artists, and yes, Top Songs as always are songs on repeat.
I’ve been keeping a diary journal for few years now. I’m just a human being, so I don’t write every day. And sometimes it’s just a short sentence, other times it’s a couple of reflections. But I try to stick to this habit because even minimal written reflection is much more effective than simply thinking things through in your head. As for the other benefits of journaling, there’s already so much information out there that you can easily find it.
In first half of July we continue our crazy weekends with mountain hiking and Exit Festival. Afterwards, we settled down and started to relax after 2-3 months of traveling, festivals and other stuff.
For some time now (from February or even earlier) I have a daily practice called “On this day”. I read any diary entries I have for this calendar day for previous years (2014, 2016 and from 2019 until now).
What’s the profit? Besides obvious reasons like recalling events and comparing yourself with the past one?
Half of year has passed (with additional month) and I haven’t missed a day filming a year movie. What an achievement for me!
Yeah, there some shots that look 100% placeholders, there is strange broken video with “WTF” caption (forgot to press “record” and press it instead of “stop”). There are days with amazing events I forgot to film, and instead of I used another footage. But there are no missed days — comparing to previous movies, it’s a hell of a progress.
That’s it, that’s the post. I’m just proud of myself and want to celebrate it.
