Ever have that feeling where you’ve become complacent and get stuck in a rut? I think ever since I found out that it wouldn’t be possible to go to Japan this year, I started distracting myself with my hobbies and becoming less productive in other areas of my life.
I realized that I’ve always wanted to create content and either write, make videos, or create a business. However, I always get stuck at the stage where I give up once hitting some road blocks. I always think about all of the stuff I’m going to do, but I don’t actually end up doing everything and end up over thinking certain things.
Recently, I started thinking about how I can get out of my rut and all of the factors in my life currently contributing to it. I’ve been sleeping late, waking up late, and generally after work I just start gaming until it’s time to sleep. I needed to make changes in my life where I’m actually making time for other productive things.

This past week, I started making really good progress in becoming productive again and feeling like I’m working towards my future goals. I got rid of some of my bad habits and started to work out, sleep better, and make more time for creating content again.
The reason I’m writing this post is because I’m using this space as sort of a progress journal, as well as an area where I can look back to and see that I’m actually doing stuff. I have a few ideas for developing this site, and one of them involves drawing and my Japanese learning. I also want to talk about all of the stuff I’ve learned in the past 22 months of this quarantine.
