Day is still not done (stolenvoice tv 29 still due) but at least the lesson 1.5 of the freewritecamp.org masterclass is out *puh* - made an extra effort to write short sentences in the "Hemingway" style (using Hemingway Editor app) #hip

Was in cleaning mode (cleaning my email inbox), I also took the liberty to unsubscribe from 500+ Insta connections to only be connected to those I'm interested in. #hip

was so "crazy" today to skip producing & published today's show (stolenvoice tv 29) and relax and nap instead. I needed and almost don't feel bad I did. Tomorrow I'll do it then because I know it's important for me to get it done. But I also want to take time for rest when it's the right time. #hip

forgot to pay 7k income tax for 2018 because I obviously can't read. "Human in Progress" turning into "Human in Decay" #hip

a "funny" it was, macmini came, skype call with my client with also uncomfortable topics (speaking of bureaucratic stuff that ultimately means I HAVE TO find new clients to create revenue from those) which essentially means that I have to move my ass into a direction where I do make money with voiceover and not only "play around" - that's life: a drama of high and low and all the things in between.... 😉 #hip

finally made a new recording for the commercial demo reel (voiceover) - script 10 - and made an overview of the stages for the present and future demo reels to come (commercial reel DE, character reel EN and DE). #hip

good first day of the year. Got almost everything I wanted but orga stuff took (like most of the time) more time than I had allocated. #hip

finished the year with 37k gross revenue, plan was 25k. Next year, 100k then. #hip

watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (film) #hip

good meeting a VO friend and her husband in Berlin downtown. We're at a similar stage in our voiceover path both with no reel fully produced but we'll be getting there 🙂 #hip

arranged my first travel dates in 2019: Feb/Mar = Miami, Agadir (Morocco), Tolouse (France), Barcelona (Spain). It's trip with business purpose and visting friends 🙂 #hip

revamped my studio with more acoustic foam inside the cupboard and made the work surface in the studio plain. Also fixed the blanket so now they're all the time at a fixed location. Makes a quick recording more straight forward. #hip

A great effect of a sabbatical is clarity: Today I defined the merger of stolenvoice tv and IGTV to become one show (one format) and only to published once a week (Friday) instead of daily IGTV (Mon-Fri) and weekly stolenvoice tv (Fri). Also, I'll use stolenvoice.blog as the place where I'll write the full-text article whereas stolenvoice.tv/ followed by the episode number will lead to the IGTV episode directly. Also, I'll be using my third 4 hours of my 12 total productive for either studiolist.io or music-making. #hip

wise grandma taught me a lesson that has a dale carnegie touch: reach your goal (a negotiation) with an approach that reveals a vulnerability to get the other person on your side. My grandma talked with the landlord about the increasing rent. Her neighbors were faced with an increased rent as well. The difference was: Her neighbors used their lawyer to fight the higher rent. My grandma simply explained her situation and revealed that she wouldn't be able to afford a higher rent. The outcome: Her neighbors are paying the higher rent. My grandpa is still paying the same rent as before. Just because she approached the landlord by talking to him and showing openness to talk instead fighting him from the start. I like my wise 89-year old oma 🙂 #hip

Got that ep 28 of stolenvoice tv done - after 15 hours and 6.000 lines of text #hip

ASUS ZenScreen Go MP16AP, a portable 15.6 inch full HD monitor, works smoothly on my MacBook Pro. No setup, only plug and play. Great! #hip

lol, after so many years (at least 11 years - 2007) I'm owning a mous again - Logitech MX Master 2S - really exciting! #hip

meditated 500 minutes within headspace up until today - awesome! #hip

Seems that my monthly net income won't allow me to have the apartment (with a slightly elevated standard) I desire to have. Scratches my ego, and feels like a battle but I'm still fighting. #hip

what a weird day: started with day job direclty, didn't the the MIT (most important thing), then voiceover-related webinars, then more day job hours, then weird 4.5-hrs nap until 1.30 am, then wrote + recorded stolenvoiceIGTV (took almost 3 hours) and wrote my thursday truth in the GFTB community for another almost 3 hours. Life = weird? Yes. #hip
