In the second half, I emphasize the importance of managing your expectations on when your work can be achieved. By doing your best to do the work and understand the process from A to Z, you get a better idea of how much time and effort it takes to get certain type of work done. This understanding makes you kinder to yourself when you are doing the work or more empathetic when others are doing the work.

Daily Action Plan

For my productivity system, I like to write my daily action plan into the event details in my Google Calendar. This is the notes area.

2: Positive Masters - Study & Work with Me. Rain noise. Three 45-minute Pomodoros.

Welcome to Positive Masters where we develop our mindset and passion projects. In this video, let's study and work together for three 45-minute Pomodoros (study or work sessions), so we can take another step toward our goals! Since I was working in the afternoon on Saturday May 8, 2021 after watching the University of Hawaii Men's volleyball team win the NCAA National Championship against Bringham Young University, my energy level wasn't at its peak. Plus, for afternoon work and studies, I usually dedicate light work that don't take too much brain power such as technical and logistical work. Yet they are very important work. Therefore, for my three Pomodoros (study and work sessions), I worked on branding copyright and behind...
