Every weekend I my goal was to spend some quality time at my analog desk doodling and coming up with creative ideas. Lately I have doing this but the problem was that I had doodled ideas everywhere with no real hope or discipline to do them let alone finish up my existing projects.<\/p>\n

Yesterday after one of those doodle sessions it occured to me how to handle my time and what to concentrate on. I immediately put it in practice and now feel like I can finally deal with time like I have been wanting to for a long time.<\/p>\n

I broke it down to three main blocks of time. 30 minutes daily for learning the ukelele, 30 minutes of time on my Cinema 4D projects (this can go longer but I have at least to do 30 minutes). And 30 minutes for the treadmill while watching the endless amount of lynda.com tutorial videos. I am especially excited about this one because it kills two birds with one stone with two important things I need and have to do. 30 minutes on the treadmill alone has me watching the clock with time dragging and any time with lynda.com, even though I am interested, I fight sleep. I can’t very well sleep on the treadmill can I? Sure I can’t follow along with the tutorials while walking but I can soak in the info and it really makes the time go fast on the treadmill. Both days I have done this 45 minutes flew by and I am finally grasping ActionScript 3–win win.<\/p>\n

Now every night with the exception of maybe Tuesdays since we are gone all night with Hollace’s lessons I plan on doing these three things. The rest of the time I can waste on FaceBook or Words with Friends if I want without any guilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
