Hello there, everyone! I wish you a peaceful and creative day, as well as good health.
Allow me to give you a rundown of my job. At the center of the publication process are the editorials, who ensure that all teams have access to the magazine's material so they can perform at the highest level. From the agency through publishing and beyond, they manage the project. Our COO/Editor-in-Chief spends her time coordinating with departments, reading submissions, and speaking with writers and agents in addition to searching out and obtaining excellent magazines. Editors focus on addressing problems, developing the story, and polishing the writing to the highest standard throughout all of the content. This is done in a very cooperative process with the writers, and I am part of the team as Assistant Editor/Ghost Writer to our COO/Editor-in-Chief.
My editing work at the magazine as an assistant to the COO/Editor-in-Chief has been so heavy on my mind that I haven't been able to blog for the past several days. Everyone is quite busy because the magazine's second quarter edition is about to be published. Every day, I have an online meeting with my COO, who serves as the Editorial-in-Chief. The virtual meeting continues until the wee hours. To keep myself from getting bored, I occasionally play online word games that reward tokens or create artwork using paper quilling. When I'm creating, my right brain is active. They say, "John is a dull boy if he works all the time and never plays."
Puzzles, according to our family doctor, are designed to stimulate the brain. Solving logic puzzles, word searches, riddles, and crosswords can help you enhance your analytical and critical thinking skills. These actions may trigger many brain areas. Regular participants in word and number puzzles appear to have sharper minds than other adults. As they solved more riddles, their cognitive ability improved. Solving puzzles is a far more relaxing hobby that may help you switch off your electronics and go to sleep. This is what people my age should do. It's entertaining and intellectually stimulating.
When I'm bored or depressed, I enjoy paper-quilling art. I am satisfied when my work yields positive results. I even utilize art that makes me happy and satisfied when working on editorial/ghostwriting tasks. My supervisor is aware of them, understands that I have been through something, and is delighted with my increased initiative in completing the tasks assigned to me.
Quilling is usually used for necklaces and earrings, greeting cards, frameworks, and tiny multifaceted objects; however, with the introduction of beautiful, flowing designs, often created by previous creative professionals turned paper artists, quilling has become more sought after by big businesses for use in their advertising. It has been at least a long time since quilling first appeared. In different cultures, it's referred to as paper filigree. Quilling was not common for a few decades, but I'm happy to see that it's becoming very popular again.
Drawing is one of my current favorite pastimes. I've always enjoyed drawing in my spare time or when my right brain urges me to, even if I'm not a professional. I didn't enjoy sketching much as a Fine Arts student because I was more interested in textile design and photography. When I first wanted to sketch, I followed various tutorials on YouTube. I was so fascinated by the connection and happiness I got when I first drew in that sketchbook that I believe, as a senior citizen, it will always be a part of me in my leisure time.
When life becomes too much for me, drawing allows me to let go of everything. I enjoy making art as a relaxing activity. When I write down my thoughts, I can better understand my emotions, especially when I'm furious or unhappy for no apparent reason. Though I feel that everyone experiences suffering and grief, producing art allows me to transform those dreadful emotions into something beautiful. As I've grown older, I've been able to develop my artistic ability by learning new ideas and doing more work. Since creativity inspires me, I want to use these abilities to progress and improve as a writer and artist. Something that my grandchildren can inherit.
Guys, what are your thoughts? What sorts of diversion strategies do you incorporate to avoid boredom at work?
