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! 🤞 #TogglTime

I daresay, I went even further beyond this holiday. Happy Halloween! 🎃

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! 👟 #TogglTime

You could say I'm something of a digital hoarder. I'd deny it, but you could definitely make the claim! 💾

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! 🍽️ #TogglTime

My tripod goes through a lot in the pursuit of snapping the perfect shot™️. What madness would demand such a dynamic and graceful pose? What lessons were learned in its execution? Well, all I'll confirm is that the framing worked, but... it wasn't as cool as I thought it'd be! 😂

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? 📽️ #TogglTime

My latest upload was edited with Davinci Resolve after a decade of working in Premiere Pro, so getting that one across the finish line definitely feels like a victory. There were a lot of twists and turns along the way, let me tell you! 😂🏁

I put together a 2025 Bingo Card for myself, and one of its squares is for reaching 1,000 personal project hours. It's still a lofty target, but its interesting to see that halfway through the year, I'm technically on track! 🥳

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! 🌅 #TogglTime

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! ⏱️ #TogglTime

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! 🏁 #TogglTime

March really hit its stride on the homestretch, but modest progress was made throughout its run. The bulk of my personal project hours come from lightweight tasks, but I balanced that out with heftier productions by the end of it! ⚖️ #TogglTime

The main channel has seen a good balance between scripted and commentary lately. That juggling act is going to be tough to keep up next week, but with any luck we'll see another pair come together soon! 🎉

Despite being the shortest month of the year, I definitely got my personal project hours into gear. While I’m still plugging away at my heftiest production, a handful of others saw the light of day and my main channel feels like it’s in good shape as a result! ☀️ #TogglTime

Much of what I tackled in January was off the clock, but there were still personal project hours to log along the way. Lightweight edits for a stream of daily uploads was chief among them, but I also put some solid dents into a few larger uploads on the horizon! 🪂 #TogglTime

There’s a hefty storm on the horizon and I feel uncomfortably confident that my humble little ship could capsize this year, but I’m going to be doing what I can to stay afloat and turn those tides. It’s time to ride some rocky waves, folks! 🌊

2024 is officially over, folks, and I’m happy to report that I pulled off over a thousand personal project hours before it came to a close. My main channel claimed the biggest slice of the pie, but my miscellaneous business managed to scoop up a solid slice, too! 🥧 #TogglTime

December proved quite light when it came to personal project hours, but I wouldn’t say that’s surprising. I had a lot going on between the festival at the start and the holidays on the homestretch, but I’m hoping they’ll take priority again in the new year! 🥳 #TogglTime

The Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival celebrated its 20th Anniversary December 6th-8th, and I was there in a communications capacity to capture, package and share the proceedings. Instagram was our primary platform since that's where filmmakers are the most engaged! 🎬🎉

We're closing in on the end of the year, folks, so there's no better time than now to take a moment and just... reflect! 💡

November did indeed see fewer personal project hours, but I'm still surprised how much time I squeezed out with everything else on my plate. There was modest progress on a few fronts, and now I can look at this month's total as a target to surpass in the next! 😤 #TogglTime

October was an interesting month for personal projects. The hours were lighter, which is a trend likely to continue through to the end of the calendar year, but there was progress all the same. I cleared a pretty hefty project off the old backburner, too! 🔥 #TogglTime

Every autumn my apartment is swarmed by ladybugs, and it looks like they've arrived in droves today to attempt their latest invasion. May the windows hold strong! 😂
