Monday. It's funny how many people hate Mondays. For me, it is just another day of the Week. It has always been. Strangely, I more hate the later days of the Workweek. Thursday or Friday because in the past those days were always stressful. Getting work done. Going shopping for groceries. Planning the weekend and so on. Yay, just a rant about how people hate Mondays and I don't like the end of the Workweek. 🫠
We went to the ORWOhaus in Berlin to see Illdisposed. Haven't seen them in a long while, and I really like their newly released record. In preparation of the concert, I've looked Persecutor up and was excited to see them too.
I like mornings and days like these. A little bit of fog and everything is coated in frost. This and when it had snowed is where I had my best morning runs. Sadly, because of my feed, I'm unable to run. I hope someday I will get there again.
Yesterday I archived some good work in our basement. I got a new saw blade, and it had cut through butter with a warm knife. :) With the new saw blade, I was able to cut the 2,5m long boards into pieces. Now I need to sand and paint them. And we are some steps closer to the finish line. 🏁
And there is one more concert post. I wrote about the show with The Hirsch Effekt and Better Lovers. One of the best shows in 2024.
The illness is still in my body. Or my body is still recovering from it. I need plenty of breaks during the day. Yesterday, I instantly fell asleep while lying on the couch and watching Bluey with my son.
Have a nice Sunday. 👋

We went to see The Hirsch Effekt and Better Lovers at the Berghain Berlin. And it was remarkable. One of the best shows of 2024. I'm a long-time fan of The Hirsch Effekt. Saw them the last time at With Full Force. (Can't remember the year anymore) And Better Lovers with their first EP crushed it. Sadly, their full-length record is not the best. I like some songs, and it's overall just “okisch”.
With this post, I only have 5 more to go to complete the #100DaysToOffload.
My plan was to finish some old concert posts, but currently I only have time to write posts on my mobile phone.
Because of my illness, I’ve lost some days working in our basement to complete the new kids' playroom. We are at the finishing line. I only need to cut some plywood, paint it white and add skirting board to the walls.
When the kids' room is finished, I need to focus on the stairs. I took them out. Now I have to sand them, replace some rotten parts and paint it all white.
After the stairs are finished, the rest of the walls can be finished and painted as well. And I can put more vinyl on the floor. Which makes the basement nearly complete. I hope we can archive this in Q1. Which would be great because I have countless things planned for the outside of our house. For example, extending the kid's playhouse and improving some things for the pool. My wife also wanted to have some trees planted so that the neighbors can look into our garden. A huge to-do list awaits for Q1 and Q2. 😅

I love when client work, works as expected. If I feel overwhelmed, I have to tackle each task one by one. Sounds like I got this from a YouTube video. Maybe I have. I can’t remember. 😂

Raycast released a new feature which lets you focus more on your current task. You can define a name, time, and apps which should be blocked at this time. They also have some groups of apps. For example, Social Media, Messaging and so on. You can also block single websites, which was not working for me in Firefox or Vivaldi. So, blocking websites is then no option for me.
So, overall, it's a good Idea but not really commonly usable. Moreover, if I block MS Teams, I don't want it to be closed and appear offline. It should still be open and not making any noise or distracting me. Maybe this feature will grow over time and they will add some things.

And with this post, I have 10 posts left. I really don't like the pressure. I was already late, before I got ill. But I have some post left, I could have written in the summer. If I don't make it, it is completely my fault, and I'm aware of it. But, so close to the end, I would rather not give up. I only see the weekend as my weak-end…😅 So, roll up your arms and go. 🏋️
