Monat: April 2021

This week I was able to tick off a few tasks. I am surprised at how short a week can feel, especially in the current time. And still, although I can feel my progress on a day-to-day basis I’m still struggling to see a clear direction on a macro level (f.i., in terms of my career aspirations and plans).

What was I working on this week?

• Working on my d-project.
• Editing one video.
• Enjoying the sun.

What are 3 things that brought me joy and energy this week?

• Feeling tired (in a good way!) after having worked out on Friday.
• Picking up my wedding top and getting help from a good friend of mine.
• Enjoying the sun in our garden.

My 80/20 analysis:

• Accepting that change happens (yes, it’s a good thing).
• Taking action by accomplishing small steps.
• Understanding that me feeling bad in a certain moment does not mean that the thing I’m doing is bad.

What do I plan to tackle next week?

• Focus on the last planning steps of our wedding.

Anything else?

• I want to make a conscious effort to plan my life better ahead.
• I might be relying on wishful thinking here, but I think I’ve seen some little baby plants coming out of the planted seeds.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

This week was packed with new adventures. I am grateful for getting better at taking small steps, one step at a time. This helps me to get my ideas and projects out of my head and, slowly, into the world.

What was I working on this week?

• Working on my d-project.

What are 3 things that brought me joy and energy this week?

• Getting my hair done and, actually, enjoying it a lot.
• Going out for a walk (& drinking coffee) every morning.

My 80/20 analysis:

• Taking action by writing down my 2-3 most important tasks of the day.
• Again, taking action by accomplishing small steps. I’m also trying to value my process.
• Editing a video instead of going down the Youtube-watching-only-rabbit-hole.

What do I plan to tackle next week?

• Focus on the process instead of expecting big, ego-driven and rather unrealistic results from myself.

Anything else?

• I really enjoyed trying out different hairstyles for my wedding.
• The planted seeds haven’t grown yet, but I’m curious whether some flowers or herbs will pop up soon.

See you all next week!
