the first impression
Wow, we’re starting with the meta one! I like that a lot. (Shoutout to my friend Wren for picking this one!)
I don’t really have a proper table of contents worthy heading plan on this not gonna lie…. And it is also the first task, so what do I even do here???
So, uh, just look around! Probably whatever you see done around here was because of this task.
I’ll probably link back, when they do. (over on the right side corner if you’re on desktop –>)
the final thoughts
Okay, so as I mentioned in my videos about this task, it was pretty loose but to keep to the avoidance spirit of it, the biggest challenge really was the “sharing” part.
While I like this place being away from all the social media expectations that we all have these days (and boy, do I hate it) I obviously think it is nice to let people know it exists. That’s the only thing that I really care about.
And also looking past the general task of “share this place”, it also faced me out of the funk for instagram I have (which I hope to continue???)
So, that aside, I really enjoyed writing about desk setup upgrades of 2023 and this makes me want to check out some more of my scrapped video ideas, although to be honest there aren’t really any more that were actually outlined like this (aside the web design rant, which I mention in portfolio retrospective).
However, that did give me the evidence, once again, that writing things down is good and I should continue to do so. (shocking, I know.)
I’d like to hope that this will be another good companion for me that I will not abandon!!!
the videos
an addendum
I had such a lovely time treating myself after this task! It felt so satisfying. Like I really earned it. Yay! I went to see an exhibit at the National Library about books. (yes, how predictable of me) and I got to see Lorem Ipsum in person!! Amazing book.
Facebook Post about the book being shortlisted!
But anyways. I am actually here to talk about something else.
TURNS OUT MY BRAIN WAS MEAN ALL ALONG
I had so much anxiety about posting about my garden and about the avoidance journey on instagram but people are so sweet about it and I am so thankful.
BUT I am still posting on YouTube first. It is my dearly beloved and it WILL receive my priority.
Anyways. I hope that the other tasks I end up doing will make me feel just as good! I hope future me has more moments like this. I really love it here.
