walked 5km 🏃 - time: 41,5 min - average speed: 7,24 km/h - remarks: knees both feeling fine; thought a lot about soccer and outdoor sports in general. Defined that soccer and hacky sack I would do as an OUTDOOR activity and voiceover and tech as an indoor activity because I remembered thanks to the meeting on Saturday with the formerly good friend of mine that this was what we did: Play soccer outside and be on the computer (programming or playing) inside. That was fulfilling so I’ll try to replicate that and transfer it from the 90s to 2018. #health

wrote and sent new lesson 11 of Story Creation Masterclass on the topic of storytelling in social media #freewritecamp

walked 5km 🏃 - time: 41,75 min - average speed: 7,19 km/h - remarks: thought a lot about the African trip via africahowareyou and the many ways I could be killed (while sleeping sticking a knife in my stomach - reel deep, shaking my hand while infecting me with HIV because there’s a needle in the palm of the hand that has infected blood on it; cutting my calves (so I get hurt) when I’m about to start running and can’t continue because I would need to stop the bleeding of course). This is me having thoughts about African countries and a continent that except for Morocco I’ve never met. I also had the thought to make a crazy wild and super loud rain dance or something when I feel I’ve been followed by people to get other people’s attention and make my followers go away. And I thought to create a shirt that says hashtag „africahowareyou“ with the African continent in heart shape and in the back of shirt it says „Please don’t kill me. I’m a friend like you.“ This shirt is likely to be used, I feel. Also, I thought about potential conversations I could have explaining my decision to go to Africa, although I would have no reason to explain it. I’m simply bored and partly disgusted by the Western lifestyle and how they pretend it’s all fine where lots of parts in the world ARE NOT FINE AT ALL. I find that ignorant and I’ve been ignorant for the biggest part of my life. I’m having some connections in Africa that I could warm up. #health

continued voiceover course (cabling, audio interfaces, hardware, recordings software) #stolenvoice

walked 5km 🏃 - time: 42,75 min - average speed: 7,02 km/h - remarks: pretty slow compared to yesterday and the days before. Contemplated a lot about soccer, and missing to play soccer about missed chances in life - feeling a bit sentimental. Nothing to worry but important to acknowledge that today’s meeting with one of my most important friends in my childhood and teenage yesterday got me thinking and encourages me go after what I wanna do with my life - now more than ever. That means to pursue what I’m doing now and stick to my gut feeling, really listen to what Mr. Gut tells me. Life can be terrible if you never release your thoughts and transform them into action. You can feel like a prisoner caught in your self - horrible. That’s why taking action, getting things going, even only talking about them and taking those walks (that I’ve been doing for some weeks now) helps to break free from this cage and farewell it with a mixture of middle finger and a hug. Contradiction? Totally, but that’s life in general. As far as I’m concerned. #health

met a good friend from the past *great* #social3

learned about the casting process and getting work as a VO, the preferance for custom demos or custom clips for the casting, and that success as a VO means to practice a lot (!) and learn tons. Did a light refreshment of a sound theory: e.g. difference of dynamic mics and condenser mics, sample rate, bit rate #stolenvoice

I walked 200 kilometers in the past 6 weeks. It's an easy example that shows by doing little every day you reach dimensions that seem hard at first. But by having walked at least 5 kilometers every day of the past 40 days in 2018 I did nothing special. I was only disciplined and knew why I've been walking. I hope this encourages you to work on X to achieve Y and be happy as Z 🙂 #health

walked 5km 🏃 - time: 41,25 min - average speed: 7,27 km/h - remarks: was mostly thinking about the meeting tomorrow with good old friend of mine (from primary school) and how much fun it would be to challenge myself to speak a decent British English accent within 7 days and having a fake interview or something to see how British I could sound #health

made first steps securing the newly migrated domains - not done yet cos of mail server and certificate issues #naii

turned all http-links on naii.io to https #naii

also set up mailchimp account because it has a good pricing model (affordable) #freewritecamp

compare prices of mailchimp and sendinblue #naii

made a list of all 2017 and 2018 masterclass students and set up sendinblue to have some email automation helping me in case emails become too much handle #freewritecamp

attended webinar on marketing mistakes to be aware of as a (voiceover) business owner #stolenvoice

walked 5km 🏃 - time: 41,50 min - average speed: 7,25 km/h - remarks: walking was 1 minute slower mainly because head was heavier with thoughts than yesterday, wasted literally hours because I did let myself distract by a request of a potential client for consulting although I only offer consulting as part of freewritecamp (and that works pro bono). Also learned that „rsync“ doesn’t ask for permission to overwrite existing folders, it simply overwrites. That makes the transition from one web server to the other no longer a finished task - I could have checked before but instead I assumed it would be working like a user-friendly GUI works *ätsch* it doesn’t. Lessons learned: Know what destination you’re aiming at. If consulting work is not your focus right now then don’t let it become a thing. Also, double-check how a terminal command that you don’t know works and test it in the sandbox before you apply it in the real world. Apart from that my knees are ok. I feel the daily 5km walk is doing good them, though I observed that my legs adjusted to that little workout and the muscles start to reduce already - will want to add more workout time in the day (having a plan, only need to execute it and make it habit I stick to) #health

personally welcomed my next student for the 2018 Story Creation Masterclass starting in December *yippie* #freewritecamp

walked 5km 🏃 - time: 40,5 min - average speed: 7,41 km/h - remarks: wild thoughts again, processing the day kind of and thinking that the 5kchallenge (my African trip) is dependent not only on making those 5k revenue out of my vo business, but also dependent on whether I actually get soycubano written until end of August 2018 - because I don’ t want enter a wild journey when I haven’t fully reviewed and process (plus written) the story of my 2018 adventure in Cuba. So, there’s that. Overall an interesting day with a strong focus on my stolenvoice business - no practicing commercial scripts though which I want to do tomorrow since business AND art is important to stay in shape. - oh and another fast walk today, I’m surprised and like it! #health

raced through 40 pages of a branding guide today to start my voiceover business on the right foot. #stolenvoice

with assistance from namecheap support (chat) did the transfer of domain naii.de - done within 20 minutes *great* #naii
