It’s Friday and my post is gone

This week I was a little late when I started to write a new blog post and I wanted to finish it today. Now I realize my blog post was not saved … gee whiz I had so much work to do this week … I obviously forgot it but now that it’s Friday I wanted to post another blog post because 14 days passed by since my last post and I wanted to tell you about my updates. Instead of telling that new videos gonna come with delay I finally found some time to render new videos this week, actually my PC is just rendering at the moment and I have to wait for the video so I use my time to blog. Last weekend I started to work with Silicone for one of my next videos. I also want to work with Epoxide resin but I need time for it. I don’t want to make any mistakes because the stuff is very expensive I think it’s gonna be a big project, not the longest video but the things around. I already made several calls to be sure with the Silicone. I also did one for the Epoxide idea but it’s not the last one. The only problem is the working time of my contact persons. I only can call them in the morning. That causes problems when you are working full time because you’re also working but nevertheless I find a way to do it. I’ve done at least 400 – 500 phone calls this week. After closing time I felt not like doing much private phone calls.

Using the weekend to relax?

No, I’m the wrong person you should talk to when it comes to see somebody laying on a sofa. I’m almost always busy preparing this doing that but I try at least to stop my work at 8 p.m. in the evening because you have to stop at least once a day for a rest and a good night’s sleep. I also try to read at least 3 pages per day in a book. The good news is that I can sleep very well at the moment and I feel relaxed after waking up.

Ideas I had for almost one year

At the moment I work on a project that came into my mind last year but I had difficulties to put it into reality because the material I used was not the right one. It has to do with the blue chunk you saw in my “projects for 2020” video. So I really thought for a long time how I could do it. In February I found a solution during a conversation with other crazy “makers”. I suddenly had a new starting point and it became much easier. That’s the video series I’m working on at the moment. I know my solution is not perfect but it will be good enough for a demonstration of my ideas. Maybe a chemist will come along and help me a little bit with knowledge???

Delayed new videos …

Do you know the following situation? You plan to do something and then somebody or something crosses out your plan? Well, that’s what happened to my plans in the last weeks. I had it so often in the last weeks that I planned the new videos, wanted to start and realized something was missing. Last week I had the problem with an infrared thermometer that I forgot to order. I needed it to demonstrate a difference in temperatures… so what was better than to use a thermometer? No device I know so far … maybe you know one?

Efficient use of the weekend

Now that I have only the weekend for making videos I have to plan everything in advance because I feel often tired after work. My sinusitis is on its way to disappear but sometimes I still have problems to sleep the whole night…. very unpleasant I can tell you. Last weekend I visited a friend to get myself an advice for one of my next videos, related with the blue chunk I showed you in my ” New projects for 2020” video . For a very long time I postponed my idea because I started but I had no idea how to continue. I found a solution in the meantime but the material I need is not here at the moment. That’s what I have almost every week but nevertheless I can do phone calls from work and it helps me a lot because some contact persons have strange working hours and I can only reach them while I’m at work.

Ideas vs. time

Do you know the situation in which you think that you don’t have enough time? That’s what I have had for five weeks now. When I come home it’s not late but time is running away literally… I can’t describe it. The day is over faster than I ever thought. Maybe a better time management could solve the problem?

Unexpected breaks and parcels on my way home

This week my smartphone suddenly started new again and again like being captured in a boot loop. Not planned but it happened. So what else to do that to reboot and reinstall everything? Time left for videos? Nope… The next time consuming thing thing is that not every parcel can’t be delivered to my doorstep. We have some unreliable parcel services here that deliver only in the morning when nobody is at home (at least not when you are working) I really wish that not so many sellers would use these services just because they are cheap. I’d rather like to choose the parcel service with which it is delivered. Then you won’t have detours on your way home. What should I say? I need the stuff in the parcel for new videos. If you have any solutions for my time problems, please let me know. I don’t give up.
