I have a woodworking project that’s been “in progress” for a long time. It’s small but I experienced a setback early on which killed all motivation. But I went back to it yesterday and moved it forward a bit more!

There’s still no AI solution that can change filters for us smh

I’ve a couple of small projects laying around. I’d like to create something(app, game, whatever) used by other people. That isn’t just what I make at work.

I try to work on them on and off at least somewhat consistently. Doesn’t always work like that though, hah.

That’s an amazing shot

I tried it once using a meditation app I don’t remember the name of. It didn’t really do much for me other than temporarily relax me until I got back to work or whatever I was doing. But sometimes I do a basic meditation method when I have trouble falling asleep. The idea behind it is to try and clear your mind and think of nothing. Unfortunately I can’t empty my head completely.

What I do instead is trying to force everything out of my mind best I can and picture a balloon. Focusing on it alone, imagining it inflating when I breath in and deflate when I breath out. Doesn’t work every time but it’s given me the most success. Making me relaxed enough to allow myself to fall asleep easier.

My submission of the Grand Canyon. I can share a cropped square if you need it.

This sounds fun! I don’t really have a great camera but maybe I can find something from a past trip.

Also, I believe you mixed up the months at the end of the post?
