Now for something completely different....

Hello again. Here we are. Me typing late at night. And you, the wonderful citizens of the Internet, free to bask in being entertained by my own adventures. Here we go.

This is a prelude to a personal experiment I've started, beginning earlier today.

Here's what it is:

PRELUDE

For 1 month, I will not interact with any social media. This means no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. I will only respond to private messages with friends, but no trolling on newsfeeds or posting to get attention.

Why am I doing this? I need to go back to a hard reset to clear my mind, get back to my roots. The roots that helped define my own hobbies that transformed into passions.

October 5th is my finish line. I will shift things back to a usual schedule, but I hope to learn a lot along the way.

Here are some things I plan on doing within the 1 month span:
1. Learn Magic Tricks(because why not?)
2. Write more
3. Catch up on some reading.
4. Listen to Ted Talks
5. Draw every day
6. Record my progress(either through this blog or on paper)
7.Meditation
8.Brainstorming 30 minutes a day
9. Stage, prototype and finalize a project within 3 days each.
10. Unity and Unreal Engine Training for 30mins-1 hour a day.

That being said, here's how  I did on day 1.

DAY 1

 

I am not sure what I'm looking at, but this is a badass shark!

 

Today was a good day. I had to move desks at work, which was a minor annoyance, but it ran smooth otherwise. I didn't tend to my usual schedule of working out today(because Monday was a holiday) but I plan on going tomorrow(Wednesday)

Finally, when I arrived home, I had a good cooked meal with my madre and went from there. I spent the rest of the evening researching magic tricks. Eventually, it will sink in and I'll learn a couple more tricks up my sleeve(see what I did there?)

This evening wasn't as productive as I had hoped for, but the following days seem fruitful. The possibilities are endless and when you're not bombarded by the popularity contest that is social media, you have time to relax, hone in on your own personal needs, and wind down at your own pace.

That's it for now. Round 2 tomorrow! 1 day down, 29 to go!
