Music
- Progress is slower than I'd like (holidays + other projects), but this week's daily deep work blocks are non-negotiable.
- Thrilled with the official video we shot at sunset in the studio. Marta helped film, and I love its simple, timeless feel.
- An acoustic video with Marta is coming soon.
Videogame
- Big strides: we now have a full v1 of a GDD (Game Design Document) with item/character appendices and a clear direction. It's so exciting!
Writing
- Adapting my Redefining Success in Art essay into a video essay, inspired by my friend Ian's fantastic feedback. Spent all yesterday filming narration/B-roll. Still editing, but I'm pleased about about how it's shaping up.
Painting
- Took advantage of an overcast day last week to photograph all my paintings. I'll upload them soon and share in the newsletter.
Routine
- Holidays brought some chaos (and rest), but I'm back in work mode, grateful for the people in my life and ready to push forward.
Exercise
Swimming
- Planning three weekly sessions (endurance, class, technique). Keeping a beginner's mind and enjoying the rapid improvement.
Running
- All my training this month is for a 5K on Feb 9, aiming to beat my PB. Feeling motivated. Got a key speed session today 💪
Watching/Reading
- On to Dexter Season 5 (recovering from the Season 4 finale shock).
- Reading about Destiny in Blood, Sweat, and Pixels — this book's a treasure, it's already been hugely helpful for game development.
