Yellow Cards

What a day I had, Ami!
I did tasks that made my brain overheat, resulting in a slight headache...
I struggled between choosing to get something because I 'wanted' it or because I 'needed'....
I didn't complete my afternoon stack and eventually fell asleep...
Believe me, I'm not complaining.
On the contrary, I'm simply recounting the reasons why today was a great learning opportunity.
And I'm grateful for that.
I also wrote on cards....I've started using that technique....cards.
Well...I call them cards but they're square pieces of cardboard...
Sometimes, Ami....you may have an idea and start it but you end up not going through with it because it doesn't feel relavant at the moment...
Let me tell you: store that idea, keep it somewhere....because one day it will become the most logical idea.
That's what happened with the cards...the reason why I'm telling you this...
Okay, so the story goes like this:
We had extra cardboards in the house and I got my hands on one of them.
At first, the idea was to fold and cut it up into smaller squares...so I could write things on it.
What things? I didn't know then.
I also made a crochet purse, months ago to sell but apparently, I couldn't find a customer (had no marketing knowledge!).
Fast forward to August, before my challenge started, I found the purse and kept the cut up cards in them.
I'm currently using the cards as my mini checklists for habit stacks.
I also use them to write phrases and quotes to myself.
And since the purse is hand held, I can carry it along when I go out...as I can also keep my phone in it!
So you see, Ami....that's why I would tell you to store your great ideas.
You never know when it will be the most logical idea to run with....only time will.
By the way, the cards are yellow...just thought I should add that..
And I wrote on one of them today, to remind myself to keep it simple.
"KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID" 😂
Sounds harsh, but when I get the card out of my purse, I can think of ways to apply simplicity to whatever I'm doing.
(I tend to do otherwise, sometimes).
Till next time, Ami 👋

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
