Add to this the utmost JoMLtRFiVPoM (jot of moose legs that randomly flex in various parts of me (think having a 2x4 rammed into your gut right after finally falling asleep) and yep… fun fun fun!

Ah well, life happens. Coffee?

Nifty!

But as always, such nifty things must transmogrify into the BodyGOSmoosh routine (Wed night). That executed the delta-gamma-noVIavailable -9 process and well, back to being alive once more at a nice normal 3am I am.

And the knowledge gain!! Some of it more painful than brain-freeze before a presentation, but the insights gained made it worthwhile. Asked Claude to share beginners coding tips “every now and then” (aka NOT during , say, final course pressing) and that’s been helpful too.

Good morning! How’s that rising and shining coming along?

Me, well heck froze over - I had 3 (count ‘em, 3!) good days (aka slept normally if you consider “normal” to be the opposite side of the word, but hey, deliverables got done!).

Ever wake up right before tomorrow shows up and realize you neglected to hit "Post" for your T-X next launch announcement?

Yep, and they say I don't know how to have any fun. :) Sigh.

Coffee?

How I Stopped Drowning in To-Dos, and Let AI Take Over My Chaos Gaze upon this gloriously caffeinated system that gives you back your focus, your sanity, and your weekends. ☕ It's real time! Just think about it. If “ti

I'll probably post this in entirety some time, but for the moment as my brain is a weeee bit fried, here's a coolios article about mastering time manglement and yes, Lassies Rescue Rangers *do* appear.

Enjoy! askblings.com/vvctimem

Good morning Creators! What's your fav way of keeping track of deliverables? My short-term memory is non-existent which often throws 56 wrenches into life.

Anywhos, submitting my latest to Muncheye and adding kittens to the launch (doesn't everyone?) :) Hope your day shines!

Argh. Had this evening planned out and then tummy seceded from body. :( Hopefully body will improve; we shall see . Hope everyone has a great night! Nn

4️⃣ Your takeaway? Whenever possible, you do *you*. Create the kind of time manglement schedule that works for you, and nobody else. 'course, you *must* ensure your better half is okay with said schedule; courtesy rocks in all cases.

So... onwards for the day!

3️⃣ In other words, the good news about all-nighters? I get tons done. Yippie! The bad news? Sleep continues to be as common as my friend here Fang the Unicorn, who delivers coffee during his off hours.

2️⃣ And this is how it ended up:

1️⃣ Yep, this was how my day *began* (keep in mind that it didn't end yesterday)...

Is there anything even more nerdy than chomping on leftover Chinese food takeout, sharing it with the mooses and then getting ready to start the day at 12:55am?

As expected, that rarely seen entity called 'sleep' totally escaped from anywhere within a 72 mile radius of me. Oh well. Brekkie calls!

What's your fav? Today, I'm making savory oatmeal. Mainly because a.) I really like it and b.) I make it *every* day. Mooses like it too!

Satisfied I am! Decided to test-drive a little bulk-batching experiment to see if tackling similar tasks at once can rescue my time manglement skills. Time, as always, will spill the coffee beans soon enough.

And with that... Nn! At least until I give up trying to sleep. :)

Finally after 2.5 hours of fun fun fun, methinks I'm at a break point so I can actually (gasp!) go hiking amid the unexplored terrain and see if I can actually seize (gasp!gasp!) ....

sleep.

7️⃣ Your takeaway? Have fun with your skills! Never skip a chance to make someone grin with laughter - it costs you nothing yet pays in joy. You never know whose day you’ll brighten just by showing up with a little spark. Oh, and about the BoD - here's one of his fav toys.🙂 Enjoy!

6️⃣ PS and why yes, those ARE gold sneakers with diamond-encrusted shoelaces (along with 2 Beaks of Doom)! Quick backstory - 'bout 292 years ago or so, one of my kids came up with that as "the ultimate of luxury" and it's been an in-joke in our family ever since. 🙂 Here's another.

5️⃣ Simple! Sharing the goodies that make life sparkle is what I used to do... way back before clinical depression swooped in and devoured 4 long years. But that was then. This is now! And methinks it’s time to crank the shine back up to full wattage. Stay tuned!

4️⃣ It hits the sweet spot between creative chaos and pure gold. Seriously, it’s a total hidden gem. It popped up back when MJ v6 rolled out and yeehah, it’s been keeping pace with every shiny new update since!

So why am I dedicating my first morning thread to it?

3️⃣ 'Course, before diving in, I needed some show-stopping images to spice things up. That’s when I reached for one of my favorite CustomGPTs :
"ロMidjourneyロ Prompt Hero" by Pascal Hennig. Sure, there are plenty of others out there with more users, but this one?

2️⃣ I set aside these wee hours in this morn to make things happen. Before doing that, however, I checked out my usual morning-prep stuff, and realized I had yet to share my "2026 is zooming up and what's *your* plan?" post.

1️⃣ And a good morning to all! Looks like our promised extra hour from Daylights Saving was added 18 minutes ago, so it's time to get stuff done bigtime. But first, here's something I just realized.

Fuel for the rest of the day!

The wind is absolutely insane right now.

Just watching trees bend in ways they definitely shouldn't and honestly getting a little worried one's gonna come down on my roof.

Anyone else dealing with this or just me?

[ Pro Marketing Tip ]

Never be afraid to try things that gurus think might be ridiculous.

Like adding cinnamon flavors to your coffee.

And then some cola flavor.

And then chili-peppers.

You heard it here first.

Carry on.

Good afternoon - it hits different when you realize you've been staring at your screen for 4 hours straight.

Anyone else forget to eat lunch or just me?

Your takeaway? So many people will never go that extra mile; doing so yourself gives you an advantage over your competitors. Enjoy!
