Ever have one of those weeks where you’re juggling a million things at once? From office work and new tech discoveries to spending quality time with family, this week had it all. You won’t want to miss how it all played out in my latest vlog!
Monday Morning Office Madness
The week started off with the usual Monday morning office rush. “Good morning, good morning!” I greeted the day, trying to predict whether Tyler would make it into the office. Spoiler: he didn’t. After a flat tire, it ended up being a solo mission for me. I had a full plate of tasks, including prepping for the Town Hall presentation, but the highlight of my work week was diving deeper into productivity tools like Habitica and TickTick.
I’ve been testing gamification to spice up my daily to-do list, and so far, it’s been a game-changer. Habitica lets you fight bosses and go on quests by completing tasks, which adds a whole new level of motivation. The more you complete, the more damage you deal to bosses. And even better—you can team up with others and work together to tackle challenges. More updates on this productivity journey are coming soon!
A Beautiful Day for Volleyball
After a busy day at the office, I took advantage of the beautiful weather. The sun was out, and I had just enough time to squeeze in a quick volleyball session. It felt great to get some exercise and fresh air, especially after spending hours inside. The day was warm, and I made the most of it by hopping on my bike for a quick 15-minute ride. Not long, but better than nothing!
Tech Experiments: Exploring New Gear
You know me—always testing out new tech. I couldn’t resist trying the Kellogg’s Eggo Waffle Coffee Creamer that I spotted at the store. Yeah, I don’t usually go for sugary stuff, but how could I say no to that? After the creamer experiment, I was back at it with my new gadgets.
I recently picked up a new Sony ZV1 Mark I after my old camera broke on the highway (long story!). This new camera has an improved wide-angle lens, perfect for vlogging. And to top it off, I got a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens for my Canon M200, which I can’t wait to use for live streaming. Tanner even helped me unbox it—it’s always fun to see him get excited about new gear.
Quality Time with Tanner: Monster Truck Races and Laughs
Speaking of Tanner, our weekend together was filled with laughter and fun. I charged both of his monster trucks so we could race them, but then it started raining. Still, we made the best of it and had an epic indoor race. “3, 2, 1… go!” I shouted as we raced around the house. Tanner beat me (as usual), but we both had a blast.
After that, it was all about spending quality time—just me and my boy. Whether it was joking around or him showing me his latest tricks, it’s moments like these that make everything worthwhile. “Dunkin’ Donut!” he yelled as he showed off his basketball moves, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
Wrapping Up the Week
As the week came to a close, I found myself reflecting on everything I didn’t quite get to. I had planned to dive deeper into Habitica and finish a tech video, but you know how life goes. Sometimes you just have to roll with it and get it done next week.
