RE: Weekly Update #1 - Learning how to Code, Blender Scene Progress, Future Plans
I am overjoyed to see this post, @raikuhen. Thank you so much for doing it and also having the courage and conviction to try for your dreams. I am so proud to have inspired such a talented person.
Learning to code again, working on Blender projects and keeping an eye on your future seem to be quite enough to handle.
And look at you go with the quick progress in coding. That is such a good sign that you remember the old stuff and were quick to finish the first part of the course.
Great idea with breaking up your day and putting limits on your time spent. I recently read some that said those limits will make you more effective as you work to beat the clock.
I looked at your older Dark Souls project. What a wonderful job you did with that. I liked all of the versions, but I know nothing about the game.
Another revenue stream might be whale shares. I have just joined and know nothing about it, but apparently you can quickly cross post your steem work and maybe Medium as well. You are an excellent writer so I am glad you will stick with that.
I use share2steem on twitter and will tweet this post with that. Maybe you will get some more attention that way too.
Best of luck and I cannot wait for your next update. Keep tagging me :)
Thank you so much, both for all the kind words, and for the inspiration!
The time limits helped me quite a lot this week, since I had a lot to do. If I can manage my time carefully, I can spend at least 3 hours coding, and then focus on other things that require some of my time, all while still having some time to relax, to avoid burnout.
I will also need to find ways to finish the tasks that require the most amount of time (writing and design mainly) as fast as possible, without sacrificing quality, so I can spend even more time coding and working on 3D. For that I may need to start reading more, and consume more educative/useful content, instead of just entertainment.
Last but not least, I will also have to increase my income. I will look into whale shares, while I will also apply a few strategies I've read about to save more money. I'll try to cut down my expenses, and save the money I don't need to spend, maybe even invest it into something useful later. On Steemit, I'll try to trade my STEEM for SBD on the internal market to increase what I already have, and add more STEEM to my Steem Power so my voting power can grow as well.
It's not much, but hopefully this plan will help me learn web development in the future, while also focusing on other things and increase my income overall.
Thank you once again for all the kind words, for the idea for this weekly update series, for wanting to share my post on Twitter and for the overall support :)
I'm glad to help. Please look into freewrite by @mariannewest. I write for the prompt she gives on most days and it is a really good way to get a post out when you do not have separate motivation. I am a writer first, and this has really helped me do better on steem and given rewards and connections I value a lot.
I will check freewrite a little now, and tomorrow while I drink my coffee, thanks for the recommendation, and also for the resteem :)
You're welcome. It's a good way to get active without huge effort.
