I’m on a good streak of putting my daily steps in. Whether walking in the park, outside the office, or on the Walking Pad in my home-office, I’m keeping it up. If my mind is busy, I walk listening to nothing but my surroundings, otherwise, I listen to podcasts or similar. I’m also getting back into rollerblading, but with summer coming up, finding a good time to get out there will be tricky.
Weekly Tennis and Ping Pong practices are going strong. My partners in both sports are like-minded Improvers, interested in deliberate practice, running drills, and getting a little better every week. I recently got a new tennis racquet and ping-pong paddle, helping me improve my game.
There have been some changes at work; to better adjust to it, I’m studying for an Azure certification.
Improving’s Come Together‘s theme in May is Music. I’m excited to create and deliver a new talk to my fellow Improvers:
Living Life Through Music
Writing music is a great way to express inner thoughts and emotions, but finding time for it amidst a busy work life can be a challenge. In this talk, I will share my process for idea development and time management in songwriting, as well as my motivations behind it.
