Next Episode: Dealing with fear

This week I was feeling burnt out from writing, so I decided to work on fun, creative stuff instead. I share some insights into how I organize my tasks so that I can be flexible and work on the right tasks at the right time. The big thing is that I use a bullet journal, and I do a weekly brain dump of all my tasks spread out so I can scan through them easily. I make sure to divide big tasks into small tasks that are easily manageable/not overwhelming and ideally take less than 30 minutes to accomplish.
If you'd like to learn more about perfect timing and the brain, check out Daniel Pink's book When.
Types of Documentary https://blog.nfb.ca/blog/2014/08/04/types-of-documentary-films/
Yes, I realize many places list 6 types, but participatory is basically the same as reflexive, and experimental is basically the same as poetic. Keep it simple, know what I mean?

Here is a very academic discussion of representation, but I think that Kirsten Johnson's film Cameraperson will help you understand the issue more closely.
