Journaling, Graphic Designing
I’ve maintained a journaling practice for 30+ years, which has helped me develop strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to reflect on and improve my work processes. This habit has also enhanced my ability to set and achieve personal and professional goals. Graphic Design has been a hobby for me during the Covid time. I enjoy using tools like Canva and PhotoRoom to create visually appealing designs for personal projects and small businesses. This has allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail, creativity, and the ability to communicate ideas effectively through visuals. I’ve also used these skills to create professional presentations and marketing materials.
