I thought about leaves

Saturday

It's another day where I don't feel like writing - I slept in and missed the window. I'm writing anyway, and I may come back later to finish it off.

I went to the spa yesterday

I thought a lot about work, about running a business, about possible avenues outside of direct employment. I thought about how I'd like to make some simple music videos, I thought about leaves.

My mind was racing the whole time, I struggled to relax, but after the dip I felt better, heavier.

pomodor is still on my mind

It's interesting how such a small thing can have such a grasp on my attention. I've rewritten it again, in typescript, and I'm close to finishing it (always approaching, never arriving).

todo:

Monday

Made it back to the laptop, despite sleeping in.

Thinking about my skillset

I think I've got good enough at implementation, whether it's design or programming, but I really fall short in understanding the product/business/user needs. I struggle to put myself into the entrepenuerial mindset, though I think I would really benefit from that right now. I need more professional experience with frameworks, and doing freelance jobs would help.

Thinking about pompom, a pomodor timer app

Editing the rounds is a design challenge that is presenting a lot of friction. I originally was going to have a text edit field, but validating it is annoying and having the users guess the format feels wrong. Maybe a CSV?

Saw the Light exhibition from the Tate collection

Really enjoyed one Monet in particular, and one by Vilhelm Hammershøi Peupliers sur l'Epte by Monet Interior by Vilhelm Hammershøi

tracking time

Still not really in a writing mood, I think I need to do a long post tomorrow to get the motivation back. I'm struggling to have a grasp on what I actually do with my time, and I don't know if cutting back how long I spend on this journal actually gave me more time or not. Must find a system to track my time, at least for a decent chunk of the day, maybe another desktop app

listening to

Solo - Nils Frahm - whole album
