Balancing 9-5 & Dreams || Why taking breaks matters || Drawing Vlog || My journey

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. I hope you all are doing fantastic. First of all, I wish you all a very happy new year. Today I am back with my first drawing vlog of this year. Also, I have an information to share with you all that I took a short break from drawing for a while. My entire Christmas and New Year holidays were perfectly invested in my career growth and diving deep into some new technologies. And how did you guys spend your holidays? Let me know in the comments. Well, over the past two months, I have been studying cloud computing, specifically different cloud services and networking, Terraform, Linux. And I have developed a front-end application and even deployed my own website where you can check out my art and photography profiles and my recent cloud projects. I picked a few of my favorites and added into my portfolio. Also, I have been preparing for some cloud-related certifications. So that's how I have been so much busy. And the other thing is, I have discovered something in Google Drive, planning our to-do list. I found a well-structured Google Sheet template that had helped me to plan my projects and certifications and also content related tasks, which I found very helpful during my studies. I am thinking of using the same templates for scheduling my drawing practice in future. Sometimes I feel taking breaks is crucial to get new fresh ideas like this. So you can plan better and come back with more energy. And that's exactly what I have done. I was studying and at the same time planning to balance my dreams. I now believe I have a plan for pursuing both my career and my art without having to sacrifice one for the other. One of the biggest challenges I and few of you also may tackling is time management, balancing nine to five jobs and following the passions. I have failed for the last few years to manage both. At least this year, I am manifesting that I can manage both and progress productively. I want to film this journey and share with you all that it's not as difficult as it seems to pursue both your dreams and career. I believe this journey will be both fun and informative. I invite you all to join me on this exciting ride as well as we grow and learn together. Until next time, take care and keep pursuing your dreams.
