My personal project hours for July saw video editing back in focus with a main channel release. They started to pick up in the second half, but my priority is ensuring burnout doesn't creep up and pump the brakes on me! 🔥

I unplugged quite a bit this month, and those breaks are definitely reflected in my personal project hours. I'm feeling pretty reinvigorated now, but we'll see if that translates to logged time as we jump into July! 📝

That’s a wrap on May, folks. Most of my personal project hours went into educational efforts with a dash of preproduction progress. I climbed back up to the usual range, too, so efforts were indeed redoubled this past month! 2️⃣ #TogglTime

April saw pretty low personal project hours, but my attention being pulled elsewhere couldn’t be helped. With any luck, I MAY redouble my efforts over the next month, but for now I’m okay with this one equating to a full day of extracurricular hustling! 💨

My personal project hours went in a direction that’s been a long time coming, but we’re certainly looking at humble beginnings. There’s swell stuff coming down the pipeline, and I’m looking forward to sharing how it all shapes up! 🟧

February was bogged down by the aftermath of a procedure, but I kept the train on the rails with a hearty bundle of uploads. I’m glad to see that, despite the fact the month had less days, my personal project hours managed to keep pace, too! 👟

January saw excellent momentum, folks. I’ve been engaging my community, drafting scripts and editing up a storm behind the scenes. My personal project hours have been funneled in a swell direction, and I’m looking forward to seeing the fruits of those labours! 🍎

2025 has come to a close, and while my personal project hours took a nosedive, that was a consequence of me finding my footing and digging my heels in. The year ahead is one where I’ll be striving for balance, and I’m hoping the content of my time will reflect that! 🪞

The holiday season proved light for personal project hours, totalling just over a full day’s worth of time. That window largely involved a number of streams, a few lightweight edits, and a hearty bit of planning. Not too shabby! 👍

The trend of light personal project hours continued in November, but there were a few pockets of scriptwriting and editing to be found within its weeks. A few modest productions saw the light of day, too! 🔆

October was a brutal month for personal project hours, but it was definitely productive on a different clock. With December being historically light, I’d really love to see more time in November to give the homestretch of the year a good, hearty sendoff! 🤞

The workload behind my personal project hours in September was largely lightweight to keep the marathon alive, and I suspect that’ll be a trend for the remaining months of this calendar year. There’s a lot I’d like to do, but now’s not the time to sprint recklessly! 👟

August was a particularly consequential month for me, folks, but it looks like I’m still in business and my personal project hours reflect that. I managed to get a Stream Machine together and plot some plans despite all the juggling on my plate! 🍽️

July kicked off with a beefy break, but my personal project hours ramped back up as I dove into Davinci Resolve. I ended up being more ambitious with my first crack at it than originally planned, and I’m pleased with the results! Surely we’ll see more ahead, right? 📽️

June saw swell output for my personal project hours, which was spurred on by deadlines aligned with my Adobe subscription's end. I managed to square away what I wanted before the month came to a close, and now it’s officially time to transition to new workflows! 🌅

Plenty of personal project hours were logged in May, folks: I launched a test channel, slipped out of my comfort zone to try new tech, and did a dash of volunteer work to bring it all together. The hustle was only a couple hours shy of cracking triple digits, too! ⏱️

April saw a more balanced schedule through its run when it came to personal project hours. I kicked off some new experiments that I'll be exploring deeper in the months ahead, but it was generally just a solid hustle from start to finish! 🏁
