Well, I am not really good with diary, but I am creating this one as a reminder to myself to focus my energy in right direction and not to waste any second of my life on worthless things (you know what I mean). It’s more or less like a personal journey to hold myself accountable towards the action I put every day. Although it’s a personal journey but if anyone wants to tag along feel free to join as well. There won’t be any scores, it’s just to share with people honestly how you spent your day, what personal project you worked on, or what have you learned. Feel free to express yourself.

Couldn’t do much today, cause of too much work. Just had few hrs left before sleep. So I thought to review my own script today for the game that I am planning to make someday.

Day 6 (18/02/23)
Spent my time today searching a few more tutorials on blender and digital painting. I was tired of drawing ovals and lines, so played around to make things funny. Tried gesture drawing and damn it made me realize I have to practice drawing ovals and lines for a month or more. Gesture drawing in a min was really overwhelming. So thought to drop it there and followed other’s loose drawing tutorial, made some inaccurate shapes and did very basic coloring. Not much of a productive day but ya I took some power naps in between to not overload my mind.
For some weird reasons thought of my ex today and quickly snapped out of it, some chapters of life are supposed to remain closed, no need to open them again.
So to summarize, today was a balance of rest and productivity. No urges, fewer distractions and had fun too. Going to try continuing the journey tomorrow.
Tired of ovals drawing, so made this out of nowhere haha. On a side note, that’s many of us when we relapse so don’t relapse, stay strong!!!

Spent my day training in blender, although I was distracted but I didnt let it ruin my entire day. Explored various editors in blender watched few movies made purely in blender. Overall a great day, going to continue studying more in coming days.

Nope, I was actually thinking to make a habit of reading some in coming days.
Any recommendations?

Oh, better stay away from fiction. I mean that’s my 2 cents. It’s a free country though.
I would suggest you to pick one that has something to do with one of the following: Finance, Psychology, Intergender dynamics, Negotiation… Basically anything that upgrades you as an individual.
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
- Never Split the Difference - Chris Voss
- The Rational Male - Rollo Tomassi (I’m reading this one now)

Day 8 (20/02/23)
Slept on time, but woke up late. Not much productive day, busy in work. Hopefully after the coworking week, I can start afresh. Not much of urges but there are some triggers that sometimes pull me in, for now snapped out of those triggers.
