This has been a week. Definitely feeling the pressure of everything going on, especially so much with hard deadlines outside my control. A couple of new items have been added to the dashboard, others moved around to make room for them. So, what have I been up to?

• Finished the first pass through the Complete Character Drawing course.
• Finished the Creative Writing Sample Lession Course
• Made a little progress on my Happiness Life Coach Certification course
• Beginning to make progress on the CTC application part II 
• Added and made progress on the TNCPE pre-work
• Started and made progress on the Photorealistic Digital Painting from beginner to advanced course
• Modified the plan for The Island based on learnings from the creative writing course
• Added all the assignements from the Complete Character course to do them to solidify the learning from the videos in the course.
• Pushed back the drawings from the Fairy Drawing book to make room for the above assignements.
• Celebrated Karen and my anniversary today. 24 years!

In general, feeling very overwhelmed. I know the next couple of months with put my productivity and time management skills to the test.

Been a fairly productive week, although the update won't reflect it.

• A lot of progress in the Character Art School class
• Made some progress in the Happiness Life Coach class
• Got accepted as a TNCP Examiner so add a couple of milestones for that

It has been an off again on again type of week. The begining of the week was slow, but it picked up a little towards the end.

• Made progress on the Happiness Life Coach course
• Create next couple of milestones for Mirlini project
• Made progress in reading The Agility Advantage
• Made excellent progress in the Character Art School: Complete Character Drawing course

So had a good start, kinda fizzled a little at the end. So mmind wiped by the weekend that I just played some games to try and relax.  Before that, I was able to make some progress.

• Finished the Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time.
• A little progress on the Happiness Life Coach course.
• Started new book Graphic Facilitation Workbook, there are some videos that go with the workbook and will watch them after the Happiness Life Coach course.
• Made some progress in The Agility Advantage book.
• Made some good progress in the Character Art School: Complete Character Drawing course.

Hoping to be out of this funk soon, so I can get back to making some good progress. Also hoping that I can get my laptop fixed soon.

I got a lot done this week, but not as much as I could have. Towards the end of the week I lost some momemtum, and took some time just to play a game from my past. I started playing Betrayal at Krondor, which I first played in '92. (It is an old DOS game).

As far as progress, I made some good progress on rebuilding the Mirlini game. I have basic game play working, and just need to add in the additional game features.

I started the Happiness Life Coach Certification course. I only made it through the first couple of lessons.

I made a little progress in the Agility Advatage book.

Finally, I started and made some good progress in the Charater Art School: Complete Character Drawing course.

I had a productive week. I finished the Public Speaking Training & Facilitator Certification course. I also made progress on the books that I have been reading. The most progress was made on rebuilding the Mirlini project. I have most of the existing functionality rebuilt with unit tests and a much cleaner archetecture.

So I have made some good progress in my courses. I also made good progress on rebuilding the Mirlini code using TDD. I have it almost completedly covered with unit tests. and things look a lot cleaner than the previous implementation.

Made some good progress this week on several projects.

• Finished skimming through the Making a RPG game in Unity book. My opinion is that the course on Udemy was better and more informative.
• Mirlini: create initial breakdown of what will be needed to hit the next milestone of having all the code rebuild using TDD and covered by unit tests. Watched several videos on unit testing and TDD specifically with Unity in order to reach this point.
• Made progress in my courses and books as well. 
• New Logo: sent options out for feedback. recieved mixed feedback. Currently thinking of maybe trying one more tree. Specifically, to draw/paint a tree. 

Made a lot of progress this week. Did most of the work to create the different pieces of the new logo, and now I just need to pick the pieces and assemble them. I want to try 1 more thing, but I hope to have the finished new logo by next weeks update.

I also finished one of my courses and started another one.

I am looking forward to this next week. I really want to get to the initial breakdown of some of the other projects so I can start putting some of this training to practice.
