If you haven't read my about, I am working at a print marketing agency in Sydney. I take a lot of pride in my work even if it means I work a little bit more than I should. It has provided me with some awesome oppurtunities to learn and so I am grabbing this oppurtunity by the balls and learning as much as I can. I consider myself very fortunate to work with some really intelligent professionals who have been very successful. I am taking the chance just to absorb and learn as much information as I can.
The best part about my work is that it really is something new everyday. While I may be printing all day somedays I could similarly be using my very limited programming knowledge to try and solve some niche problem with our QNAP server. I love that, my brain needs a chance to try something new everyday. I also struggle with low pressure environemnts. I cannot find motivation internally for work that doesn't feel pressured. I completed all my university assignments the day they were due. My work life is no different. I want to be challanged and pushed to squeeze as much into as little time as possible and to do it efficently and accurately.
I am currently working on creating a video and write up series on how to create simple automations for small business or even people just working their jobs. I am a huge advocate for working efficently and I do not see why people should have to manually do things that could be done by a computer. I have been inspired by watching Devin Nash, and believe that sharing this content will create a lot of value for people who may think that automating simple tasks takes a lot of computer knowledge
At the moment I am reading "Sand Talk" by Tyson Yunkaporta. I will have a full write up in the future on this website but at the moment I am loving his unique perspective on life. As a white Australian I have found it strangely intimate to be pulled into a culture that while I have been told to respect, I unfortunatly have never had the chance to fully understand or be shown. I feel ignorant and humbled at times reading persepctives that I feel I could have never come to the conclusion by myself. I feel in a way that is where my love for learning is rooted. There are one of two outcomes from learning, either you get to a location you would have been quicker, or you get to a location you would have never been before. Both ar equaly exciting and both are extremely prevalent in Tyson's writing.
I love games, I always have. Any kind of game too! At the moment I am enjoying Balatro on my phone as I am finding myself quite time poor :P. That being said I am loving it when I get the chance to play. I find time literally disappears before my eyes as I struggle to make decisions between buying a new joker or levelling up my hand. If you don't know of Balatro I won't bore you with my description of the game. but I would highly recommend you go watch a video of just how insane some of the hands can get!
I think lastly and the most obvious of the things I am working on is this website. I started learning web development about 3 months ago now. I can't remember exactly how long ago. My old website was super jank before this one. But it did have a lot of charm and personality. I may upload the files again here some time. Until then I would like to keep tinkering away here. It is mostly for my writing and less so for the website itself. Although sometimes I get a real tinker bug and I will plug away at a new feature or page for a couple hours.
