I have been using Roam Research since last week for work-related notes and on Windows. Clearly, I need a RoamResearch 101 course as I am just using it in its simplest way. I am sure this is a very powerful tool and there is a learning curve, at least for me. Kind of like using Drafts for the first time, they both have a straightforward way of using them but they also have a lot of power-user features that I am yet to explore. That or maybe it is very easy and very simple and I am over complicating things in my head, as I often do.

Big week, but let’s concentrate on what matters most, our mental and emotional states. No matter what happens, there are those around me that aren’t affected by such events, and they need me in my best mental and emotional state. Also, we are at 13 days for Luna to turn two-years-old (Dios nos coja confesados 😂)

Work, for these past two weeks or so, I feel it to be a little stressful. A lot of things going on and for some reason I am finding myself, not having a good time. My wife, in all her wisdom, suggested I need to disconnect, take some time off, even if it’s just one day. She might be right but even that, stresses me out. Since I have started this job over a year ago, I have taken only one day off, not counting holidays. But also the thought of been away from work a day or two worries me. Yes, other people can do what I do but most of them haven’t done what I do since I took over those responsibilities. What if they need me? I hat if something gets missed? Etcetera… Like having a hard time letting go.

Still, I do feel in my heart that I need to disconnect a bit. Recalibrate myself, sort to speak — recharge.

I am always at work before sunrise these days. This morning, on my way to the main building I’ve witnessed the most beautiful sunrise I’ve seen in a while. My first reaction was to get my phone out off my pocket take a picture and continue my way into the building. Once I had my phone out and opened the camera app, I realized that the picture I would have taken would not make true justice to what I was seeing. Instead, I put my phone back into my pocket, and enjoyed the view. Just paused for a few minutes stared at the sunrise, and enjoyed the moment.

That picture would have eventually either made here to my blog or just be lost in the camera roll. Sometimes it’s better to paused and enjoy the moment.
