March On

the sky looks pretty

My goals for this week:

  • to work out daily 
  • to set up this personal website
  • to narrate children books 
  • to do my chores
  • to journal daily
this is me feeling embarrassed taking photo at gym
Working out daily is harder and more time consuming than I thought. This week I did 5/7 days. Not bad though. I have not lost any weight, but I'm getting stronger. It's less tiring to do jumping jacks, crunches, and push-ups. Taking gym class is what keep me going. It's nice to work out with someone although I don't know them personally. It's enough to see familiar faces going there.

Setting up this personal website to look pretty is also more time consuming and more complicated than I anticipated. I decide to buy theme from Etsy and set it up that way. In the meantime I can create images for previous posts even though they're only my daily logs.  

actually sit my desk and not work on bed











Narrating children books in my native language is one of my several personal projects. It gives me a sense of purpose in my life. I used be embarrassed of hearing my own voice. I was so self conscious to enjoy the process of recording. Now I have fun recording. I haven't got a hang of reading to children in an energetic voice. I think I'm getting better as I listen to my own recordings as I have to edit them on my own. I also learn new skills. I'm still trying to learn how to set up audio properly. For now I make do with what I have. 

Chores. Do laundry. Clean my room. Clean my desk. My plan was to have them done by Friday. But nope. I got them done on Sunday. Nothing's fun with doing chores. I guess it's part of living life. 

The fun thing I did this week was baking bread. I forget to take picture (I plan to incorporate more pictures for blogging). It tastes good but it doesn't look pretty. I was in a rush. I baked bread while I was waiting for the laundry to be done. They're all required waiting time, and I'm not that patience. 

That's how my week went. It's ordinary, a happy ordinary week. I feel like I have more to say when I compile my day to day into a weekly log instead of a daily log. I'm going to change things up. I will reserve daily log for my handwritten journal. 

I failed to journal daily. I think I only journaled for two days this week. I'm going to try again. 

I really underestimate my time and energy level. I've been auditing the way I spend my time daily. I will report back after some time. I need to collect some more data. For now I need to reduce some times for my personal project because health is currently is my top priority. I can't cut down on times I spend at the gym. And it's okay to not check off all of my weekly goals. 

Thank you for reading.
