Something about any video you post on any platform just brings me an uplifting feeling, even something as small as an update:)

Richard Glidden

As I was watching the update, I was thinking to myself "I wonder if I can get the song Malukah uses in these update videos anywhere" and literally right after that you mentioned getting a cellist to come record for that very song! Can't wait! I also get distracted with too many things on the go at one time. Something that's used in the software development world a lot that I find helps, even with personal projects, is what's known as a Kanban Board. It helps you visualize what you need to do AND limits your work in progress so you get things done instead of starting a million little things all at once. Might be worth looking at. Also, BARD SONG! Woohoo!

Hehe! Braden, thank you so much. <3 It makes me happy to hear that.

Waaaaaiiiiiit. A productivity method that uses POST-ITS????? Yes, please!!! I just looked it up online. Funny, I had seen lists like that when I've visited a few companies but I never realized it was a full system. Thank you for letting me know about it. I'm trying to see how I could implement it with the type of tasks I have to do. If i will use it per video, or for all music/life projects in general, etc. I had not once stopped to analyze which parts of the process bunch up and slow everything down. This is so important. Holy cow.

Malukah aaaaand it's great that you like Heights! I look forward to finally sharing it so you can download it! Wooooo!

Since you're already using Trello, you can implement Kanban there too, if you ever run out of Post-its 😝

Thanks for the update! Can't wait to hear what Heights sounds like with a real cello! I love that song too <3.

To create covers for CD's I might can help you Malu. I studied Graphic Design and still need some references for my website :) <a href="https://www.little-pumpkin-design.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.little-pumpkin-design.de/</a> Also of course if you wanna do it by yourself I can help you with anything in Illustrator or Photoshop. I think every now and then everyone of us just have one of those days, which are full of Clumsiness and Weirdness. As long as these phases of life get over after finding some sleep, everything is going to be ok.

Completely agree with Braden Neff! Every video from you brings smile and a feeling of warmth (even though the warmth is the farthest thing I would like right now - it's 47gr C outside XD)! Anyway, congratulations on finishing your classes and I'm certainly eager to hear the finished Heights!

Molmod

We know you've got that Malu-'cello hidden away in the cupboard. Time to dig it out for "Heights"

Richard Glidden

Anything with post-it notes HAS to be good, right? One of the things I like best about Kanban is it can be as complicated or as simple as you need. For a personal board, I would start with something very simple. Just a "To Do", "Doing" and "Done" type of thing, and limit your "Doing" to two or three items at most. Just put everything on the one board for now. As you use it, you'll find you'll want more columns, different colours for different things, some items you'll want to drop off the board, some you might want on a different board, you might want to add more information to the post-its, etc. Adapt it as you go to whatever works best for you. Just getting everything visible at a glance, focusing on a few things at a time, and seeing what's not getting done is a huge help though. I've been doing a ton of this stuff at work lately, so if you have any questions, want some other ideas on how you might use it, or want to hear about some other organizational approaches I've tried, feel free to send me a DM. Trello is also a great tool for an online Kanban board, but there's something so much more satisfying about drawing on post-its and using stickers. :)

malukah

Thank you so much for the offer, Lil' Pumpkin! <3 I'll let you know if I need help on this! :D And thankfully, today has been a normal less clumsy day. hahaha! Never clumsy-free in my case, but definitely better. hahjahjaha

malukah

Whaaat?!?!?!?! 47??? is this an actual temperature? I have only known 43-44 degrees C here in Mexico. hehehe! And thank you so much for the kind words! <3

TheBadlander

No need for thanks, the pleasure's all mine! ^_^ And, yeah, that's the real value. It actually got worse later - up to 51degr! Last year's max was around 55, I think, because it exceeded the thermometer scale XD We actually had 12 hours electricity outage due to all the condioners working, but after the Office hours ended, so the luck was on my side this time! ;) Workin on that essay by the way XD
