Long Drives and Reflections
As I wait for my wife’s pancakes to flip, I thought it would be as good as any time to get my next post up here. I have a weekly routine of making her pancakes for the workweek so she’s not missing out on breakfast. While I’m on just a few hours of sleep, drinking… Continue reading

I Want to Make 2025 A Big Year for Reading and Writing
Last year, I focused more on writing but not too much on the reading end. I was in a rut with reading. I completed my minimum goal of reading five books last year, but getting through them was hard. A few of them I enjoyed reading, but others were a struggle to finish, and when… Continue reading

When Starting Off, Remember to Do It for Yourself or Others Involved
I was scrolling through my TikTok feed when I came across one where this guy sitting in his car tells us (the viewers) that our Dungeons & Dragons show will fail and no one will watch it. He then tells us to “just stop” making these shows; no matter how quippy the title can be,… Continue reading

Back to Work After a Nice, Long Break
Well, it’s the day my two-week-long holiday break comes to an end, and I’m sitting at my home office, wishing I was back on break again. I’m counting down the days until the next time my scheduled days off would come, but it’s back to work for now. Even if I were working my dream… Continue reading

It was a great way to get comfortable posting on your… Continue reading

A Simple Layout
Today’s answer will be short and sweet for what I would like in a room for reading and writing. For writing specifically, I want to have a big, long-sized desk. Large enough to fit my laptop and monitor that I would dock my laptop to for a bigger screen. Suppose I pick a desk on… Continue reading

And My Holiday Break…BEGINS!
4:00 PM strikes today, and I’m driving home from work in my car. Usually, my commute doesn’t bother me; it’s an hour one way since I only go to the office once a week. But even with traffic being rough and it raining the whole time, I wouldn’t have to make this commute for another… Continue reading

Running
In January 2020, a friend of mine posted on Facebook that he signed up for a 5k run hosted around his area. I thought, why not join him, and we’ll do the run together. Well, after training for the race for a few months (I haven’t run this consistently in years at this point), the… Continue reading

Stay Consistent
I envy others who stay consistent with their work. Whether training for a race, writing a book, or posting videos on YouTube, they stay with it. We all have dreams and goals we want to achieve, and seeing others do just that is what I admire. We all have felt some burnout and had to… Continue reading

Screen Time
It’s ironic since I’m typing out this post on my laptop. But I do a lot with less screen time with my phone, TV, or this laptop. We lose track of time and how much we spend on these devices. Some of our chores we’d like to get done in the day, but they won’t… Continue reading
