Day 68. Preparing for the Performance Tomorrow, Read, Digitakt

Interesting day. feel productive and distracted at the same time.
I didn’t plan it out in advance, or spend lots of time on the work that was most urgent (performance for now). I simply spend a small chunk of time and do everything I need to do.

Today have big progress on Digitakt, finally started to understand this tool (have spent around 5 hours since I started learning this.)

Also, spend some time practicing tomorrow’s performance. In this recording, I start to focus on the sentence instead of the notes. The expression has been a lot better.

Also writing threads and keep taking about books.

Also making progress on my other new LA Connect project, may introduce in future posts. There is a document been written.

What does it mean to do all these projects?

Instead of focusing on one thing, I feel I’m experimenting and assembling dots from my past. It seems a little distracted to do various things in a day. But it feels right. And for now, my planning map has guided me to the “experiment” state. So I’m going to stick with it for a couple of days, to see what outcome and result I could get. and find a more focused route on my Hepta map.

I hope this map can grow and be a strong foundation for my life and work.
