Work-life balance is not really about how many hours we spend each day for work or leisure. Rather, it is doing what we really want to do, instead of being controlled by external sources, being other people or our own habits.
We tend to be more creative when we are physically and mentally healthy: sleep well, exercise enough, eat healthy food, maintain focus and presence, have a positive mood, and explore activities that might not seem to directly contribute to the current bottom line.
I dreamed about this logo of an ongoing project among existing Adobe apps.
Sitting at my desk around 10:15 pm, it was a bit too early for me to go to bed, and this chain of keys right in front of me looked interesting enough especially after I fanned them out a bit.
For some mental or physical reasons, I lack control for hand strokes.
As a little kid, I was told by the school teachers that my handwriting was so bad that it will dim my future.
But that shortly became a moot point right before I started programming on computers.
A few decades later, when I started to pick up drawing, one of the first instruction books advocates practicing straight strokes before anything else, which paused my progress for years as I never have the patience for rote practice.
I later switched to another book that emphasizes natural contours, which jump-started my drawing progress.
I still cannot control hand-strokes at this moment of writing, but that doesn’t seem to matter, and I haven’t even turned on automatic stroke smoothing common in drawing applications.
Advices can help, but only combined with our own unique situations.

Some of these face-related algorithms based on machine learning/vision can be Turing tests for portrait drawing skills.

I saw this standing cabinet on the roadside a few days back, and it was gone today when I walked past the same spot.
