Quoth the Camser

I've been using Lightroom for years. Today is the first day I seriously considered switching.

What is it with notifications and lack of focus and attention. Are they correlated? I think so! But first, a chat about last night's gig in Crofters Music Bar. It was really fun and I talk a bit here about anxiety and what I do with it.

I listened to MakeWorkWork (MWW 22: Kinda Wild But Also Fun) for the first time today and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a talk show by by Hrefna Helgadóttir (Habbi) & Hailley Griffis. They chatted about books in this episode and I was inspired to jump in with some recommendations. So, here goes.

Firstly, the podcast I mentioned is The Incomparable. Here's a book episode mentioned one my my book recommendations: 33 Percent Rule

The Calculating Stars
Novel by Mary Robinette Kowal

Having a good old chat on my first dog walk up the forestry in ages. I talk a little about impostor syndrome and positivity, and just what a good week I've had.

Walking the dogs before the rain, which became in the rain. Do I need to be tracking all our Amazon purchases in our accounts?

Why is my mind so flighty?

This is a general chat about my day in the freelance world. I spent five hours in Crofters' on meetings and recording and then walked the dogs in silence. That was productive. I got to thinking about planning and short-term goals and KPIs. It's a bit businessy, but it did show me the value of walking without audio playing in my ears.

A chat about paper planners and pens, and how those things are going to improve my mental health and productivity.

I had a very good week as a freelancer. There's been lots going on, including a new fountain pen! Yay! I got a Cross ATX at half-price from Paperchase in Glasgow, and a stone paper A5 notebook that's a dream to write in with a fountain pen.

Apps I'm using for social media management are ContentCal and Agorapulse.

I saw Joker at the mobile cinema on Arran. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision and it got me thinking about taking breaks and how important it is to consume content for its own sake. John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry in The West Wing, gave some lovely feedback to Teri Polo, who played Helen Santos, and it had me tearing up to hear that on the West Wing Weekly podast. Again, that shows the importance simply of unplugging from the business hustle and taking in some soul food.

So, ping! I'm awake. Might as well get up. My head is so busy and I talk about how flighty my mind is and how I sit down to do one thing and end up doing quite another.

Check out Madalyn Sklar, whom I mention in the episode. Her content has been rather helpful over the past few days.
