The right workflow might be unique
And that's totally okay
From the bottom of my heart mind
Fresh stories from a Spanish Copywriter.
Summer in Valencia is hot. Very hot.
So hot that we have a heat wave every 2 weeks and we don’t even feel it anymore. You take a shower, get out and you can’t tell if those drops are water or sweat. The aircon is your best friend and the nights can be nightmares.
Lucky me, I’m doing all right. I’ve been spending weeks in the north (were the weather is more chill) and my apartment is not specially hot.
With this situation, I’ve been working out in the mornings instead of my regular hours (around 17.00). And you know what?
I-LOVE-IT.
You start your day fresh, you are “done” with exercise early in the day and, if you enjoy working out (I do), you wake up in a better mood.
During my second year at University, I used to run in the morning before going to the campus, and it was a good feeling too, but then I stopped.
I also tried few years ago, but with an intense sport as CrossFit, I didn’t feel great.
And now… now it works.
But the takeaway here: it works NOW, and it works FOR ME.
I’d never say “you should do this”, because every person is different and has different needs.
And this is also what happened with my unique approach to localization and productivity these days. I’ve developed a method that works NOW FOR ME
I work less hours, I’m reading less about marketing and localization and my head is focus on other stuff. I combine fixed freelance clients with others less frequents. I write this newsletter weekly, but I’m not putting energy (or money) on promote it.
NOW FOR ME, it works.
So find your workflow, the one that works NOW FOR YOU… and don’t be afraid of changing it in the future.
Outside the desk
Where the magic really happens.
🏠 I came back today for my last summer trip and I’m planning to take a little break from traveling until the end of September. Next destination will probably be warm.
📽️ Have you ever watched a movie on an open-air cinema? Is something I love to do every summer and, lucky for me, around here there are a lot of options for doing so.
🏄♂️ This new routine of morning excersice also helped me in Zarautz to take great waves with few people on the sea.
Make it global, baby
If you want to work with me, this is the way.
