Daily Challenge 06/02

Daily Challenge

  • Record all B-Roll for Foldable to Slab Phone Video

    • I’m checking this off but I didn’t do all of the B-Roll. I recorded 13 different shots from various angles and started editing it into the video. Through this, I was able to identify that I need to work on my transitions. I had fun doing it and it was nice to make progress instead of thinking about everything I had to do. Because I can’t do partial checks, I’m checking it off but elements will make it to tomorrow’s challenge. 

  • Comprehensible Japanese Lessons in Lingq

    • I did half of the lessons while I was on the treadmill at the gym. Knocking the rest out after I finish writing about Claude Shannon

  • Start writing takeaways from Claude Shannon - Main takeaway format similar to book feedback from people like Ryan Holiday/Mark Manson

  • Lessons I have learned at this point in my life

    • I started this on 06/01 after writing my daily challenge. This is going to be an ongoing piece as I think of lessons that I have learned 


Challenges for the Week:


Give me a chance: 

Post Foldable to Slab Video

Finish filming B-Roll, creating thumbnail, and uploading video

Skills: Uploading, Thumbnail Creation, Editing

Progress: Started filming and editing B-Roll. Recognized opportunity areas. I will continue this through the week to get the video close to where I want it. My skills at this point won’t get it to where I want it to be. 


Temperance:

Finish cut by fully adhering to diet 

Skills: practice temperance

Progress: I shouldn’t have bought so many bags of M&Ms for the house but I resisted my temptation and maintained adherence. I’m looking forward to my weigh-in tomorrow. Was just shy of 224 this morning, targeting 220 lbs to close out the week. 


Discipline: 

In bed by 10:00 PM

Skills: discipline and health

Notes: 

Listening to Founder’s Podcast for fun

Using Superlist so I can have my challenges with me everywhere

Filming w/ a6700

Editing in Davinci Resolve

Applied for Jeremy Ethier experiment via video yesterday. Included Truman and emailed them thanking them for their time and consideration. If I get in the experiment but not video, thinking about recording and sending them videos at the end anyway to try to beat out the people they picked. Cool opportunity to provide feedback and to potentially get exposure.
