Day 10: A Mix of Progress and Reflection
Today was a blend of productivity and introspection. While I tackled several key tasks, I found myself navigating unexpected emotional terrain by the end of the day. Here’s how it all unfolded:
Tasks for the Day:
Finalize Audio Mix and Schedule How-To Videos: Add the audio mixes to the how-to videos and complete scheduling across all platforms.
Set Up Top-Down Camera Rig: Prepare the Shuttle Pod Mini for an overhead camera angle.
Clean the Office: Declutter and organize my workspace.
Hardwire Audio into Z30: Transition from a dual-system setup to directly hardwiring audio into the Z30.
Plan the Rest of Winter Break: Create a balanced schedule for work and family time.
Results:
What Got Done:
Completed the audio mix for the how-to videos and finalized the scheduling of videos, blog posts, and supporting assets.
Made progress on the hardwiring audio setup for the Z30, though a few additional components are on order.
Spent unexpected time brainstorming SEO strategies for my website and refining blog posts.
What Didn’t Get Done:
The top-down camera rig setup is postponed to tomorrow.
Office cleanup remains a work in progress.
Scheduling the winter break plans was deferred as I shifted my focus to other priorities.
Unexpected Progress:
Spent time on the script for my upcoming “What Is Life” project, diving into deeply personal reflections about my journey and the impact of my wife’s postpartum depression. This creative but emotionally charged work influenced my mood by the end of the day.
Lessons from Day 10:
Flexibility in Focus: While I didn’t accomplish every task on my list, I allowed myself to pivot toward meaningful work, even if it wasn’t planned.
Navigating Emotional Weight: Creative work that delves into personal topics can be both cathartic and draining. Recognizing when to pause is essential.
Celebrating Small Wins: Completing the audio mix and scheduling was a significant step, and progress on the script felt deeply rewarding, despite its emotional weight.
I’m leaving today with a sense of perspective. Tomorrow brings a fresh opportunity to reset and tackle what remains. On to Day 11! 🎥
