This daily log thing is a trip. If you haven't done this yourself, I highly recommend it. I still haven't figured out when is the best time to write, but spending 30 mins a day and writing about what I'm working on is really helping me stay focused.
Today
Today I'm getting my systems updated as they have been offline for a while. I'm realizing that the only way I can get through these tutorials is if I allocate time specifically for them. I'm having a kind of “tutorial backup” where my list of Udemy learnings is through the roof, but this is all about setting priorities and time management.
My goal for today is to get 1 chapter of FairyKnight edited and update my LeanPub site with the change. And look over all my projects including
So much stuff! I need a week off just to get everything going.
Tomorrow is declutter the house day. I spent time on the porch last weekend and having one space clean is like an oasis in the desert.
Today I'm working on fixing up the CSS of my current project, and I learned something really cool about the browser – as I seem to do every day. Did you know that the events focus and blur do not bubble, but that focusin and focusout do? I just learned that today – and I've been doing this for many years.
Write.as is so freaking useful. It's like being able to long form tweet, while being able to re-edit your posts!
I'm also still working on Udemy tutorials. Looking forward to getting my Warioware DIY cartridge to try out a very cool, playful game making tool.
I want to tell you, persistence pays off. If you want to do a thing, and you feel overwhelmed by the scope, size, and complexity of the thing, be ruthless and break it down into little pieces and consume them daily.
For me, today – after main line work I'm going to finish a tutorial on #webassembly I've been watching on Udemy .
So many projects. Godot, writing, editing, publishing. Keeping your mind busy helps prevent depression from worming its way into your thoughts.
Also had to do more purging of twitter folks I follow. Getting really tired of having an arbitrary follower limit.
Today I'm focusing on work coding while reading up on more #godotengine goodness. My plan is to start building a simple HTML editor. Once it's done I'll write up a new tutorial.
Writing wise I'm going to pour more energy into Van Ella Magic and use that One Stop for Writers website.
