Hobby Projects give Fulfillment
For the last few weeks, I have been working on a small hobby project mostly because I wanted a creative outlet and also wanted to experiment with social media. So my project originally was to publish some prerecorded stories from when my daughter went on her first trip overseas with her Mum to play at bedtime. My voice is pretty much monotone and apparently sleep-inducing if you asked any of my students I taught graphic design to when I lived in Vietnam.
So for this, I spent the time to design cartoon characters in the same style as Hey Dugee which a children’s show on the BBC. After that I made some GIF animations and then discovered near my work they sell fake toys, So I made a few videos about fake toys just for fun with very low expectations.
So far this project has given me a lot of fulfillment and challenges. My projects twitter has been receiving a lot of impressions but my actual engagements are very low, so I have been studying analytics to see which posts do well and those that don’t do well.
Most of my impressions come from Polls or sharing youtube clips from my favourite kid-friendly youtube channels. My content on the other had has been doing quiet poorly which is sad but it pushes me to think of other ways to generate interest.Â
In the past, I found that the harder I worked on a project the lower my overall fulfilment was because my expectations weren’t met and I was easy to give up because it wasn’t fun or I was too concerned about being successful.
