大家好，its always a nice day when I buy some new books, but today I had a little splurge, and bought 3 😅. After 3 hours of solid racking my brain coding practice, I was thinking to myself that I wanted some new to read, (which is kind of easy when your sat studying in a bookstore 😂).

I had heard good things about Austin Kleons books, in relation to being very helping for all forms of creativity, and creatives, so of course me being a creative it peaked my interest.

surprisingly the book has alot of values and processes that I already have in place for myself (guesss i need to write a book too haha), but there are some extra great sparks of simple knowlegde and processes, that are amazing, and incredibly simple, to put into place, that would benefit anyone thinking of tackling a new venture.

in simple terms the books make you ‘remember’ the simple approaches to what may seem complicated at first, reminding you that, “the more pressure you percieve something to be’ the more complicated we can make it seem.

Anyway just wanted to share the books with you, and give a ‘tiny’ insight in them 😉!!!

if you have any book suggestions for meees lemme know ☺️

and remember, keep it simple ☺️

大家好，This is a great place to study but the one thing that is a big let down is that the internet connection is very bad, so if you’re like me and you need to use online platforms such as replit (online iDE) or maybe you just need to do some research!! You’ll find yourself very frustrated quickly 😅!!! And the problem is in both stores

So now am off to another location, although i really like this location but oh well time to get my steps in ☺️

😕

大家好☺️，The perfect start to the morning!! My study focus is at its peak from 9 til 12ish!! After that my eyes start to close and the brain begins to dance in wonderland 🤣!!!

This coffee shop is in my top 3 places to study, based in a Book store it’s perfect for when i take my mini breaks, i just go and grab a book 📚!! The only downside is there is noooo bathroom in the building 😅(i mean realllly come onn)!!

I bought another book today “Coding confidence” instead of being an instructional manual it more of a “what to do while learning to code, what to think about etc” really interesting ☺️!!

Anyway have a great morning everyone 加油加油！

Today, I spent most of the day, studying this exact position, editing, editing and more editing, so the look on my face is not one of Joy and excitement, it’s the look of “ this edit should not of took this long haha 😂 “ but I cannot complain I am very happy with the result. (PS it’s one of my fitness videos if you want to watch it just go to my other Instagram )

Now I just have to wait, Two hours for the render to finish. Oh happy days 😅😅😅!!!!!

Tomorrow will be day 11 of my coding course , in which I am learning python, and I have to say it’s definitely not easy to learn coding, and anyone who says it is, is m either already a pro, or just gifted 🤣!!!! but I do really enjoy learning the journey of coding and software development, I feel like the possibilities are endless, and with my crazy imagination, the possibilities are probably endless 🤣🤣!!!

Okay, I’m with that I hope you’re all had a wonderful relaxing Sunday , and that you’re ready for the week ahead.

加油加油，你很厉害呀🥰

Another day of studying, this time back in my favourite coffee shop ☺️!! Calm, bright, Spacious ☺️! As its quite warm outside I decided a nice walk and spacious location would be better than staying home in my apartment (as comfortable as it is)!

Today focus is my coding journey, it’s getting trickier now, but as I enjoy problem solving it only makes me focus more 🥰!!

What are you doing today?

大家好，大家好，as everyone knows, a lot of my study is overdone in the coffee shop or the library or at home at my desk, but I in fact, hate, sitting down for so long if I could do everything stood up, I would.

So the newest addition to my home is a new standing desk, and I love it , I like to workout a lot as some of you know, so sitting down for so long for me doesn’t make me happy😅🤣!! I love being active moving around, just generally staying on my feet. So now that I’ve got this desk, it feels great to be able to do what I love doing, which is learning and producing new content, while being stood up.

Today is the second day that I use this table to study at very happy with it I found that produces a different form of productivity for me , yes, I still love my coffee shops, and I will still definitely go to the coffee shops, but if I can stand up and do my study in productivity and a little fitness workout at the same time then yes I’m very happy with that.

Because sometimes you don’t wanna go for a walk or maybe the weather is terrible, but you still want to be on your feet stay active what are you studying, and not necessarily have to stop studying as well,

Cool, that’s all I wanted to share today and if you like me maybe you wanna get a standing table, anyway, have a good day 🙌🏾🙌🏾☺️!!

大家好，I woke up today with no motivation to study 😅!! When I wake up like this i use what i call Bare Bones Mode 😂, I literally grab the bare minimals of what i need to study no extras, literally “laptop, iPad, power supply,,headphones” (i can live without everything else) and then i do the bare minimum freshen-up, and grab my hoody and joggers and GO!! Because i know the only chance i have of getting anything done is if i get out of my house as quickly as possible 🏃🏾‍♂️!!!

I may not have the best study session in the coffee shop BUT i will definitely study and get things done ✅!! Because we’re all creatures of HABIT, both good and bad!! I know that if i sit in coffee shop with my stuff, I will study regardless of the efforts! Because I associate coffee shops as my relaxing study environments, if i’d stayed at home even with my wonderful study areas i am more likely to procrastinate sooo much due to the mix habit association in my apartment!

So in like of this i have studied for a nice 3-4hours plus today!! And although i am doubtful of what has stuck today 😅!!! I am happy because i still focused studied ☺️!!

Do you have a Bare Bones system? What works for you? ☺️

A random person just came up to me and said “You laptop case, really says a lot about how you must think, its amazing” .. I simply replied “thank you, and yes it really does”!!

Every day my brain buzzes constantly with ideas upon ideas upon alternate versions of endless possibilities 😅!! Sometimes its hard to keep my little feet 👣 out of the clouds ☁️!! As a creative and analytical thinker i had to develop ways to keep myself focused and present!! Hence why i have developed so many productivity limiters for myself! Whichhhh keep my bottom in the now instead of the endless possibility area 😂!!! Which isn’t always a bad thing of course but it can lead to HUGEEEEE procrastination and seeks of perfection 😅😅!!! You wouldn’t believe how many time i have heard “have you started yet? Or “ITS DONE LEAVE IT” 😅!!!

My personality trait is INFJ-A and it seems to align perfectly 🤣🤣!!! But… the cool thing is i have natural joy for problem solving or solution finding, so luckily for me… i just note something i wanna improve on and it becomes my challenge to FIX it.. crazy ideas 🖊️ write them down get back to my work, lack of concentration? Filter my brain 🧠 by playing easy listening music which blocks my drifting thoughts 💭 so many things 😌🙌🏾!!!

How about you? Does this relate to you? 😊!!

大家好, just getting a little more practice in before tomorrow’s 2nd try at reciting my introduction dialogue.

I gave my self a two week assignment to get much better at it, so hopefully 🤞 I am 🤣!!! It’ll be posted tomorrow as planned 😊!!

So some people have asked why I do it? Well it’s because i like to get myself start points and end points, in order to measure my own progress. And a deadline is a nice way to hold myself accountable ☺️!!!

What do i do after I have completed my task?

Well thats the best part, i look at the results and look at my strongest and weakest points, and plan a new assignment accordingly.

So i have a main over arching goal of course, and theses assignments are built to slowly move me to getting to it ☺️!!

Try it see it it works for you 🤗!!

I didn’t post up my Masters' certificate immediately because I was waiting to receive this photograph from my graduation day! Because this sums up my aspiration in life and that is “I aspire, to inspire” in everything I do.

At my graduation, My 6years old niece said to me “I like this clothing the big hat, can I get it in my size” I replied “it takes a few years to make, but if u work hard, they’ll make one for you when you’re a little older” she replied.. “ok then I will work hard, so they will make me one when I am older, so I can get a picture and also be on Nanna’s house wall, next to your other picture like this, I promise I will”

Now whether she does or doesn’t choose to to take this path isn’t the important part, the important part is knowing….it only takes a spark ⚡️ to inspire the imagination and dream, and to make what may seem first impossible a reality”

大家好大家好😉!! A little is better than nothing at all 😉 and happy 520 ☺️

Quick reading review this morning as time was tight😅!!!

Kept it simple, literally choose dialogue and read as fluid and as fast 💨 as i can! I always read outloud, then read out the meaning in English, just so i can hear myself and know I understand it!

😊
