Journaling


While pondering on how I can design my time, I thought about journal writing. I started writing in my journal every day when I was 13. I was consistent until I got married. It has been pretty hit-and-miss since then because we are so busy and run on so little sleep. I miss writing in my journal and want to get back into the habit. Writing right before I go to sleep like I used to do is no longer a good option. So I've decided to design a window of time just for journaling. I'm going to set an alarm for 9:45 each night and when it goes off, I'll write. I hope it works! I'll give an update in a few days.

Another Domino

Today I had 3 hours of dance practice. The last hour of practice went really well. There was an upbeat, motivated rhythm between me and my partner because we worked hard and communicated well. That rhythm has continued with me throughout the rest of the day--another domino effect.

Weather Patterns

Strangely enough, I've noticed a pattern between the weather and my overall rhythm for the day. When the sun is out and the air is clean and clear, my rhythm is bright and cheery. When it's cloudy and gloomy, my rhythm is more somber and slow.

Newsroom Rhythms

I spend over 15 hours every week in the student newsroom. I produce the live newscasts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are definitely strong rhythms in the newsroom. When breaking news comes in and we're pushing to get everything ready in time, the rhythm of the newsroom is buzzing. There's energy in the air and the rhythm is fast, steady, and pulsing. There are accents when something needs to be fixed, or a problem comes up. In the booth, I try to maintain a calmer, yet still strong, steady rhythm as I communicate with newsroom staff.
