Adrian’s Journal #191129

End of the week. Nearly the end of the year. Time to wrap up. Wait! Not so fast. I haven’t finished my work.

I had only 4 hours of sleep last night, but I’m feeling great and grateful for a smooth functioning web page.

What 3 amazing challenges have I accomplished yesterday?

Yesterday’s accomplishments were not planned tasks but were the struggles with little things that didn’t work.

1. I struggled the whole night optimizing my IT Fair web page for a traffic surge coming from SITEX 2019. New WordPress themes have given up on the Next-Previous navigation buttons in media attachment pages. I need them. I had to switch back to the Asteroid theme, but Adsense Auto Ads don’t work very well. ROI: Trickles of Adsense revenue.
2. I struggled with trying to get my social media apps the post MOV files on my Samsung Galaxy S10 Android phone. MOV files, I discovered, cannot be read by most Android apps, like Facebook, Instagram and Adobe Premiere Rush, though they can be played back with Google Photos. Lesson: Next time, export all videos from Final Cut Pro X to MP4 instead of MOV.
3. Wasted 3 hours of learning how to find viral posts on social media. Coz they all don’t make sense. They are temporary tactics and lack originality. Lesson: Might as well spend the time researching keywords for the long-term benefit.

What 3 challenges will I complete to make today great?

1. Edit BMPCC 6K review part 2.
2. Complete Davinci Resolve video editing online Course.
3. Look out for Black Friday Deals at SITEX and online: Zhiyun Smooth Q2 (less than S$180)at Qoo10 or Lazada. Also Mistral 1.5L Kettle (less than S$35… S$29 from Lazada), Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, iPhone 11 Pro Max, MacBook Pro 16″. Anker 10000mah USB-C < S$70. Tiny thumb drive.

And many many more…

1. Add a new chapter to Smartphone Video Class. Teleprompter.
2. Update my Video Marketing Strategy: While taking the time to create a 5-minute video, do the intro and outro first and post it on social media as a teaser. Include magic. Tik Tok loves magic… Linkedin too surprisingly.
