Feb. 9th 2023

Feeling: Relieved

Today is February 9th, 2023 (Thursday). Today is the final day of my daily blog posts. I’ve been posting for exactly 14 days (2 weeks) which I think has allowed me to gain a good grasp on the effectiveness of this project. The biggest takeaway I got was daily blogs of the length I did were such a time commitment. Each took 1-2 hours which simply absorbed too much of my free time. One huge upside is that I uploaded 7 new pieces of content each week within a week. That’s a decent amount of content…

Feb. 8th 2023

Feeling: Exhausted

Today is February 8th, 2023 (Wednesday), my exam went well yesterday and for some reason, I come up with my next moves right before bed. Today I’m going to put together a blog post that explains how to boost your financial health and start working for your future along with the mindset behind it. Especially in America, people are so hyper-focused on spending their money today and wanting to afford things today. If they were to utilize their money in specific ways, they could purchase those items in the future with money they never worked for…

Feb. 7th 2023

Feeling: Happy

Today is February 7th, 2023 (Tuesday), which just so happens to be my exam day for my marketing class (oh how exciting). I managed to get up at 7 am and made my eggs and coffee like a good boy. I was thinking a lot when I went to sleep again though. I had thought in the shower that I have lost touch with who I am and see myself as an identity-less person. I was thinking it would be a good idea to once a month, look through my camera roll and past blog posts to see how far I’ve come and to measure progress. This is more of a personal issue and I’m sure others don’t experience this but I rarely look at things from the past…

Feb. 6th 2023

Feeling: Energetic

Today is February 6th, 2023 (Monday), and I’m sitting in my first class writing the beginning of this blog moments before I take my investments quiz over portfolio theory. I wanted to start this blog so I didn’t lose a thought I had. I stayed awake for some time last night, reflecting on my performance. I have these huge ambitions for this blog since it allows me to make whatever I want. I had an idea to start a food section of the blog because I have a passion for cooking. I reevaluated this decision because this was something I thought up while researching how to prepare steak. It was a flash-in-the-pan idea (pun intended) but I realize I already have another section of this blog (self-improvement), which I already don’t have enough time to post on regularly…

Feb. 5th 2023

Feeling: Tired

Today is February 5th, 2023 (Sunday). I’m writing this rather late in the evening because I’ve been so busy. Last night was as many say, “a movie”. This morning, we got breakfast at First Watch and left around noon. Everyone I met was amiable and made me feel at home. My friend cade’s apartment smelled so good from his lit incense and it has now given me the urge to go out and buy my own. I will probably hunt down an incense holder I like and purchase my first smelly stick within these coming days…

Feb. 4th 2023

Feeling: Excited

Today is February 4th, 2023 (Saturday), and I just got off work and am now on my way to Cincinnati to party my ass off. It’s my buddy’s 21st so you already know. I’m writing this in the car while we drive there because it’ll be the only time today to get it done…

Feb. 3rd 2023

Feeling: Satisfied

Today is February 3rd, 2023 (Friday). My Youtube Short grew again overnight and now it’s at 860 views and I gained 3 subscribers which is crazy. It might sound like a small feat, but it’s tough to grow on Youtube, so gaining 3 subscribers off of 40 seconds of content without external marketing is crazy. It’s the most efficient method of reaching an audience. Luckily, even with the two shorts I’ve uploaded, I’ve gained excellent knowledge of maintaining audience retention…

Feb. 2nd 2023

Feeling: Exhausted

Today is February 2nd, 2023 (Tuesday). I’ve decided to start writing this blog during my HR lecture to be able to complete it today. I had an exam this morning and wasn’t able to write it before then and I work in 2 hours so it’s a bit of a squeeze; I will probably get home around 11:45 pm tonight, assuming I go to the gym, which wouldn't provide enough time..

Feb. 1st 2023

Feeling: Accomplished

Today is February 1st, 2023 (Wednesday), and I finally did it! Today is the first day I was able to successfully able to get up at 7 am after saying I would. Better yet, it was under the most influencing of situations. Phoebe stayed the night last night and there is no bigger force keeping me away from a cold shower than having my warm significant other cuddled up to me under a thick comforter…

Jan. 31st 2023

Feeling: Well-Rested

Today is January 31st, 2023 (Tuesday), and I woke up at 11 pm. I feel like a lazy piece of trash and it pains me to know I slept that long. My day is now shorter; others have been awake and productive for at least 3 hours before I woke up. Last night after work, I went to the gym. I got off around 10:30 and was at the gym until 11:18 am…

Jan. 30th 2023

Feeling: Tired

Today is January 30th, 2023 (Monday), and boy does it feel like a Monday. I woke up at 9:30 and made breakfast and here I am an hour later writing this blog. I think yesterday was incredible, I didn’t do much as far as productivity goes but it was the weekend after all. Having it be a Monday, the week has started, and it’s time to kick things into gear. I think this week I’m going to try to make a pop song and release it or at least schedule it to be released. It’s not something that is high stress but I think it could be fun just to say I did it…

Jan. 29th 2023

Feeling: Relaxed

Today is January 29th, 2023 (Sunday)! To be honest, I’ve been kind of slacking this morning. I got out of bed around 9:30 and my stomach was killing me but I took care of that and now it’s business as usual. It’s now 11:28 am, and so far all I’ve done is sit down at my desktop and started drafting a beat in FL Studio…

Jan. 28th 2023

Feeling: Peaceful

Today is January 28th, 2023 (Saturday). Yesterday was kind of nice, I wrote the blog and did nothing for the rest of the day, I needed it. Toward the end of the night, I wanted to do one last productive thing before I went to bed and decided to write some new stuff on my whiteboard to set in stone what I should and shouldn’t be doing…

Jan. 27th 2023

Feeling: Optimistic

Today is January 27th, 2023 (Friday), and I’m starting a daily blog! (hooray) I made the decision today while deciding what I want to do and focus my time on. My whiteboard came in yesterday, and I unpacked it this morning and attempted to write out my objectives. I had a youtube video series called “Because It’s Easy” planned out where I learn a skill…
