Outlets.

I think I've been more productive tonight than usual.  And I think it's because I'm embracing a few things.  At once.

I have my blog page open, YouTube playing, a file of reference pictures on screen, and a sketchbook in front of me.

And I'm doing all of it.

I've written six posts (five for a new blog, all of which are scheduled for release over the next five Fridays) including this one, caught up on a lot of my subscription stuff on YouTube, and filled out a couple of pages in my sketchbook.

Bouncing from one to the other to the other has given me the brain space I need to open up a little in projects and work on more than one thing at once.

See, I get to feeling so guilty that I'm "abandoning" my hobbies or passions when I focus on just one that I start to get to the point where all I'm thinking is "Man, if I had just done something else, I would have been a little more ahead in that by now, instead of this one hobby."

Which isn't fun.

But I'm happy that I've been writing this evening, I've watched plenty of content from fishing, to electronics, to game reviews, to vlogs; I've sketched out a few things and new ideas, and I'm happily planning on doing that again tomorrow.

It's been a good night.

Now to go home and see how stuck our car is in the mud at the end of our field...

Peace.

Procrastination (2018).

I've heard it said that one who procrastinates does 30 minutes of work in 7 and a half hours, then 7 and a half hours worth of work in 30 minutes.

At no point in the day am I so motivated than 23:30.

I want to carry on writing by book, creating poetry and art; brush up on my French, physics and biology; edit photos and videos; and order my coin collection.

But I only have 30 minutes left.  8 now.  I was watching a video about gyroscopes and tidying up the coins I had strew across the desk.

Found a D-mint Buffalo nickel with a slight mint defect this evening, as well as a 1968 and 1969 S-mint nickel.

Got to go now, though.  Packing up the desk space for my coworker to take over, and entering in my time for the week - and requesting some time off.

In 6 minutes.

Peace.
