Weekly Report 01/11

This week was my first job of the new year. It was more tired than expected. The definition of the specifications is complex problem because of the ambiguous requirements from the users. (Of course, it’s natural since the users don’t know how it would be.) The steps need to be interspersed with user testing.

I spend more than 80% of my free time on drawing. I have started a medium-length series of fan art. Sometimes I feel brain fatigue.

When I create something, whether it’s a program or a picture, I get frustrated by the gap between my ideal speed and quality and the reality. I think the way to get out of a slump is to always look only at “now” and “the present situation. Any sentimentality is not necessary in my life.

I couldn’t even read books so much time. It’s not efficient to take a long time off while learning something. I want to suppress my impulses to properly allocate my time in the day.

Cooking and eating are my healing time these days. Nothing complicated. I like to eat while watching my favorite dramas or Youtube.
By the way, I applied for the stage greeting for ”Kodoku no Gourmet, Gourmet of Solitude”. I hope I get it.

Plans for next week

Continue to draw stories, but also set aside time to read books and study for software engineering. Don’t be too stoic for both.
In my work, I will get the small tasks done first and tackle the difficult problems.
And I need to find a special gift for a friend who will have a wedding ceremony in March.
I will receive a courier from my mother filled with candy, fruit and a blanket.

Long term goal

  • Improve my engineering skills and be able to commit to projects.
  • Enjoy creativity including development.
  • Gain confidence by creating my own work.
  • Think about what I would like to do in my life.
