Here are some thoughts from the author to celebrate this day.</p>\n<h3><strong>A Message from Plan Sea author S.E. Ansley</strong></h3>\n<p>I'd like to warmly thank everybody for being a part of the Plan Sea journey, whether this is the first time you've heard about it, or you've participated during the story.</p>\n<p>Writing a book is an epic undertaking, one that any aspiring writer, creative, communicator or deep thinker should consider in their lifetimes. There is an intimacy between words on screen and paper, with oneself; a means of harnessing various parts and powers of our minds. Writing is a medley of deep introversion, where we are alone with ourselves and our thoughts. Yet we must still find a means to communicate, whether it's by labouring over a properly-worded sentence to scribble on a page, or to articulate more complex ideas and emotions with the intention of nudging a reader along a path.</p>\n<p>Writers inherently must be able to cope and thrive in silence and solitude, for anything less can be impossible to progress any substantial work. Distractions come in the form of the usual suspects – online notifications, social impulses, relationship needs, and third party demands – while also inner conflict, where we think too much, or too hard. Let alone the typical gamut of human complexities, self-doubt and mustering motivation. Sometimes we can be grumpy to others around: Let us think and work in peace! It's nothing personal.</p>\n<p>For Plan Sea, the entirety of the book was crafted on the road, while travelling. For over three years I had to summon the daily drive and motivation to chip away, even if it was scribbling down happenings or thoughts, or sitting for hours in the wake of inspiration or aftershock to best capture recent events. Other than bursts of domestic stability, such as living in Poland in between road trips or global excursions, my homes were always short and temporary. I travelled to twenty-five countries in three years, and probably slept on a hundred different beds. Somehow I mustered the discipline to wake up each morning, dedicate the early hours of my brain to writing, and continue crafting the Plan Sea narrative.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/poland-camping-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"Camping in Eastern Poland\" class=\"wp-image-1209\"/><br/><i>Camping in Eastern Poland (chapter: The Baltic Trip, Part I)</i>\n<h2><strong>Plan Sea: The Never-ending Story</strong></h2>\n<p>The story never seemed like it might end. Even after the travel tips guidebook was scrapped in favour of focusing on the more magical narrative unfolding, there were numerous possible finales intended over the middle of 2018. There was the sensible closing of circles at the Borderland Burning Man festival in Denmark, while there was the exciting, romantic mystery of what might happen after David August's performance at Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie: Where next? However, magic (and Magia) unrelentingly unfolded, and I continued to depict events from my life into the story. This meant I kept writing, even when close to major world events like the bombings in Sri Lanka in April 2019, and through lockdown in the second quarter of this crazy 2020. Lockdown seemed a logical ending, not just for the weight of the global crisis and the universal uncertainty, but because this book had lasted long enough.</p>\n<p>I spent most of 2020 editing Plan Sea. From February I released weekly chapters in eBook form to a sizeable email audience. In retrospect, these chapters were more like final drafts, riddled with errors, incessant waffling and traces of hurt feelings that I hadn't been able to release through my physical, mortal life. Lockdown afforded me the opportunity for months of sustained dedication and progress, raising my editing and reviewing to higher levels. Even then, there were several further layers of self-editing, with help from professional friends and hobbyist colleagues.

So often, as humans in today's fractured modern world, we strive for the impossibility of perfection, the endless revision and cleaning-up of such removes blemishes but also slivers of the soul and spirit of original works. It's like how modern music has become so digitally precise and robotic, with vocals perfectly pitch shifted, yet it doesn't feel natural or truly human. I hope we can revert more to raw, real, analog and acoustic methods of artistry, remembering that computers are a tool to help us, and not to be programmed to replace the human spirit.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/PS-KHIR-GANGA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2680\"/><br/><i>Khir Ganga in the Himalayas - a natural hot spa reward for hours of slippery trekking</i>\n<h3><strong>Enjoy the Journey of Life</strong></h3>\n<p>Plan Sea is a journey that I lived through a million times.

The occasion was commemorated at a <strong><a href=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/plan-sea-book-launch/\">live launch event in Arambol</a></strong>, Goa, India, from sunset through the night.</p>\n<p>Here are some thoughts from the author to celebrate this day. Plan Sea is available now on <strong><a href=\"https://planseabook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">planseabook.com</a></strong>, through India on <strong><a href=\"https://store.pothi.com/book/s-e-ansley-plan-sea/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pothi.com</a></strong>, and internationally on all the major booksellers from January 14, 2021.</p>\n<h3><strong>A Message from Plan Sea author S.E. Ansley</strong></h3>\n<p>I'd like to warmly thank everybody for being a part of the Plan Sea journey, whether this is the first time you've heard about it, or you've participated during the story.</p>\n<p>Writing a book is an epic undertaking, one that any aspiring writing, creative, communicator or deep thinker should consider in their lifetime. There is an intimacy between words on screen and paper, with oneself, a means of harnessing various parts and powers of our minds. Writing is a medley of deep introversion, where we are alone with ourselves and our thoughts. Yet we must still find a means to communicate, whether it's by labouring over a properly-worded sentence to scribble on a page, or to articulate more complex ideas and emotions with the intention of nudging a reader along a path. Writers inherently must be able to cope and thrive in silence and solitude, for anything less can be impossible to progress any substantial work. Distractions come in the form of the usual suspects – online notifications, social impulses, relationship needs, and third party demands – while also inner conflict, where we think too much, or too hard. Let alone the typical gamut of human complexities, self-doubt and mustering motivation. Sometimes we can be grumpy to others around: Let us think and work in peace!</p>\n<p>For Plan Sea, the entirety of the book was crafted on the road, while travelling. For over three years I had to summon the daily drive and motivation to chip away, even if it was scribbling down happenings or thoughts, or sitting for hours in the wake of inspiration or aftershock to best capture recent events. Other than bursts of domestic stability, such as living in Poland in between road trips or global excursions, my homes were always short and temporary. I travelled to twenty-five countries in three years, and probably slept on a hundred different beds. Somehow I mustered the discipline to wake up each morning, dedicate the early hours of my brain to writing, and continue crafting the Plan Sea narrative.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/poland-camping-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"Camping in Eastern Poland\" class=\"wp-image-1209\"/><br/><i>Camping in Eastern Poland (chapter: The Baltic Trip, Part I)</i>\n<h2><strong>Plan Sea: The Never-ending Story</strong></h2>\n<p>The story never seemed like it might end. Even after the travel tips guidebook was scrapped in favour of focusing on the more magical narrative unfolding, there were numerous possible finales intended over the middle of 2018. There was the sensible closing of circles at the Borderland Burning Man festival in Denmark, while there was the exciting, romantic mystery of what might happen after David August's performance at Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie: Where next? However, magic (and Magia) unrelentingly unfolded, and I continued to depict events from my life into the story. This meant I kept writing, even close to major world events like the bombings in Sri Lanka in April 2019, and through to lockdown in the second quarter of this crazy 2020. Lockdown seemed a logical ending, not just for the weight of the global crisis and the universal uncertainty, but because this book had lasted long enough.</p>\n<p>I spent most of 2020 editing Plan Sea. From February I released weekly chapters in eBook form to a sizeable email audience. In retrospect, these chapters were more accurately like final drafts, riddled with errors, incessant waffling and traces of hurt feelings that I hadn't been able to release through my physical, mortal life. Lockdown afforded me the opportunity for months of sustained dedication and progress, raising my editing and reviewing to higher levels. Even then, there were several further layers of self-editing, with help from professional friends and more hobbyist colleagues. I continued to learn, and apply the lessons to my scrupulous, daily editing of Plan Sea.</p>\n<p>In the end, I'm aware Plan Sea is not perfect: much like me and my existence. There are minor grammatical mistakes, occasional misplaced apostrophes, questionable comma usage (intended for pauses during longer sentences), and some typos. I think this is more truly the raw essence of myself and my journey. So often as humans in today's fractured modern world we strive for the impossibility of perfection, the endless revision and cleaning-up of such removes blemishes but also slivers of the soul and spirit of original works. It's like how modern music has become so digitally precise and robotic, with vocals perfectly pitch shifted, yet it doesn't feel natural or truly human. I hope we can revert more to raw, real, analog and acoustic methods of artistry, remembering that computers are a tool to help us, and not to be programmed to replace the human spirit.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/PS-KHIR-GANGA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2680\"/><br/><i>Khir Ganga in the Himalayas - a natural hot spa reward for hours of slippery trekking</i>\n<h3><strong>Enjoy the Journey of Life</strong></h3>\n<p>Plan Sea is a journey that I lived through a million times. Beyond adapting to physical events, I've had to note everything, write, re-write, re-read and edit my past many dozens of times, betraying my characteristic living in the moment. It's time for me to return to my actual life, unencumbered by replaying the past, over and over. I'm not sure I'll write a book like this again, but I couldn't be happier with the result. To me, seeing and feeling the book in physical form, the project is now a success. Everything else is the (vegan) icing or organic cherry on the dessert. As you'll learn about me, I'm about the journey and not much motivated by material means, other than with the need to survive.</p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy Plan Sea. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have, whether it's about the book, or perhaps a tweak you hope to help in your own life. For the writers and creatives: consider a writing odyssey of your own. There is no other introspective journey quite like it. Enjoy your adventures, and every day along the way.</p>\n<p>Thanks for being a part of Plan Sea.

The travel / memoir / self-help book will be released on <strong>December 23 2020</strong>, available online and at book stores worldwide from January. We've <strong><a href=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/plan-sea-travel-book/\">previewed Plan Sea</a></strong> over the past few years while it was being written - and seen it evolve from a simple handbook of useful travel tips, into an epic odyssey!</p>\n<p>The story is narrated across 3+ years of travel adventures and visits 25 countries, including 5 separate visits to India. From falling off a speeding train, a death-defying trek through the Himalayas, Sri Lanka during the bombings, Auroville's 50th anniversary, 3 Vipassana meditations, 2 Burning Man events and countless concerts and festivals, Plan Sea is an outer adventure as much as a deep exploration into the self.</p>\n<h3><strong>Plan Sea Book Launch</strong></h3>\n<p>The festivities begin on <strong>Saturday December 19</strong>, with a livestream reading from cat cafe, <strong><a href=\"https://kitty-masala.business.site/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KittyMasala</a></strong>, in Arambol, Goa. The official launch comes on <strong>Wednesday December 23</strong>, with a special evening of music and literature at This Is It (North Arambol Beach), with an exclusive performance from Portuguese musician, Amadis. From this date, Plan Sea will be available in India through <strong><a href=\"https://pothi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pothi.com</a></strong>, and the eBook is available directly from the Plan Sea book website.</p>\n<p>The global distribution launch is set for <strong>Thursday January 14</strong>. From this date the book will be released on the <strong><a href=\"https://reedsy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reedsy book network</a></strong>, as well as being made available on major and independent retailers, such as Barnes &amp; Noble, GoodReads, Amazon and so forth.</p>\n<h3><strong>Wednesday December 23 at THIS IS IT, Arambol</strong></h3>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/PS-LAUNCH-DEC-23-2020.jpg\" alt=\"Plan Sea Book Launch\" class=\"wp-image-2654\"/>\n<h3><strong>Plan Sea AudioBook coming in 2021</strong></h3>\n<p>For those who were looking forward to the travel tips component of Plan Sea (the original impetus of the book), this substantial chunk of writing will become a separate eBook. This booklet should be available by the second quarter of 2021.</p>\n<p>For audiobook fans, you'll be pleased to know that the Plan Sea audiobook begins recording in the month ahead. There will be a semi-weekly podcast with chapter episodes across the first three months of 2021. At the conclusion of the podcast series, the chapters will be bundled up into a deluxe audiobook, complete with photographic memories.</p>\n<p>Beyond Plan Sea, Sea's creative focus begins switching to several long-term musical projects. The first is preparing a simple, compact live show for local and global performances. Simultaneous to this is beginning to record an album, while sampling local musicians and field sounds. The <strong><a href=\"https://animism.live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">album and a bigger performance</a></strong> accompanied by an orchestra, are on top by the end of 2021. There may also be the debut of the <strong><a href=\"https://sunmoonsea.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sun Moon Sea peace orchestra</a></strong> over the course of the year.</p>\n<p>If you have any questions related to the book, it's story, the author, global distribution or interview opportunities, please contact <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>.

It's definitely challenging to balance a comfortable home routine in a city we know, then jump into non-stop travel where everything is new and a distraction.</p>\n<p>Over the years I've diligently tweaked and improved my work discipline, countering distractions and crafting daily and weekly momentum. I've nurtured a format and schedule that works for me on weekdays, while leaving my weekends open, free and creative. This has allowed me to efficiently <strong><a href=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/jeju-island-south-korea/\">work from beaches on tropical islands</a></strong>, through dozens of countries and while in transit.</p>\n<p>What might work for me won't work for everybody, but perhaps this article will help inspire to make some necessary tweaks of your own.</p>\n<h3><strong>Sometimes What We Think is Ideal... is Counter-intuitive</strong></h3>\n<p>For many of my 12 years in Melbourne, Australia, I thought I had the ultimate routine. On weekdays I'd wake by 8:30am, prepare breakfast and coffee, then dive online before 9am. Immediately I'd open email, to make it feel like work had started, before browsing through my regular news sites (<strong><a href=\"https://news.bbc.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBC</a></strong>, <strong><a href=\"https://theguardian.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Guardian</a></strong>) and through sports (MLB, fantasy baseball, Manchester United). Then I'd trawl through social media, feeling like I had a good handle on what was happening among my friends and the wider world. Throughout the course of the morning I'd attend to my work tasks – always from a list the night before – while, whenever distraction hit – frequent as a programmer – I'd return to social media feeds and fantasy baseball research.</p>\n<p>By the evening – anywhere from 4-6pm – having satisfied most or all of my tasks I'd call it a day and progress to evening plans. If there were none, it was common for me to remain on the computer hacking away on personal projects or certain client work. There was an extended point of my life I'd regularly “work” 9am-midnight, although in retrospect the vast majority of that time was wasted online for nothing.</p>\n<p>The moment we open portals to other people's energies – e.g. news, sports, social media – our subconscious overheats and distraction is imminent. We're plunged into the opinions and stresses of others, whether its hysterical, polarising opinion on current affairs, or the drudge of clueless sheep on social media, or the nonsense world of professional sports. None of these we have any control over – unless we don't consume it to begin with. Furthermore, whatever platforms or sites we frequent, we're bombarded with advertising, often targeted to further distract us from other duties and scientifically crafted to stoke our emotions.</p>\n<h3><strong>Today's Far-Improved Work-Travel Routine</strong></h3>\n<p>Flash forward to the present and I've nurtured a far more productive and calming routine. My routine requires far less time in front of the computer or absorbing the stress, opinions or ads of others. I can spend more time in nature (I'm in the jungle a 10-minute walk from a beach) and definitely immersing myself way more in my passions.</p>\n<p>Now my “work” days are shorter and more compact, unless you include morning writing or evening music, which I don't. To me, writing and music are what I want to do in my life, so they rarely feel like a chore. Furthermore, this is a routine that I can easily continue anywhere I happen to be in the world – even during lockdown.</p>\n<p>Everything starts the night before. The only habit I've carried over from my earlier freelance work career is writing a task list the night before. When I sleep I put my phone in Airplane Mode to eliminate wireless signals and notifications disrupting my brain or dreams. Factoring in sleep cycles I typically wake a little before 8am, and dive straight into an hour's Vipassana meditation. Morning meditation is blissful, in a half-dream state, and whizzes by, while calming the mind for the day ahead.</p>\n<p>With my brain refreshed I make breakfast – typically organic muesli with fresh fruit and coconut milk – and then plow into my morning's writing tasks. Note that I remain completely offline through this, to avoid distractions.</p>\n<p>After my writing duties are complete I connect online and begin catching up on messages and emails. Nowadays there are pleasantly not a lot of either. Checking my task list I jump into client work and other important tasks, and nail them as early as possible. When inevitable distraction hits, to take a break I reference music magazines for lessons that stoke my subconscious for later, or exercise. Over the course of the day I check whatever social media I feel like, without becoming stuck in timelines, walls or paranoid discussions.</p>\n<p>It astounds me that on a regular basis, by 2 or 3pm, I'm usually done all my proper work for the day. I often turn my attention into music, watching tutorial videos to continue accumulating knowledge for later practice and experimentation. Most evenings I'll spend hours working on music – composing, arranging, production. I finish writing my task list for the next day. If I'm bored and have time to spare I'll sit another hour of Vipassana in the evening, and if not, I'll do this before bed for a better sleep. It helps that I presently don't have a girlfriend or much of a social life here in Goa!</p>\n<h3><strong>Don't Forget the Flexibility in a Freelance Life</strong></h3>\n<p>I wanted to add this point about leaving ourselves open to partake in unexpected adventures and magical experiences. If we're too rigid in our routine and intensely locked into our imaginary procedures we can miss out on some of the best times of our lives.</p>\n<p>For me here in Goa last week was great example, even though it was an unusual week. On Tuesday night I sat on the beach late into the night talking with a new friend, and had to sleep in a little on Wednesday. Still, I got all my work done.</p>\n<p>On Thursday morning I attended a weekly group <strong>Vipassana meditation</strong> session that unexpectedly extended from the scheduled hour. After mutually cooking and eating breakfast we sat for an additional hour - taking 5 hours all up. When I returned home I made sure I accomplished all my tasks for the day.</p>\n<p>On Friday morning I was invited to try the travel activities of a local friend. I went kayaking then rode a fishing boat to a remote island where we picked coconuts from a tree. Afterward I enjoyed tea from a friend's house. When I returned home I attended to all my tasks before a visit to another friend for a haircut.</p>\n<p>The common theme here is that, irrespective of whatever activities I participated in, on all 3 occasions <strong>I got my work done</strong>. Sure, I have 2 decades of experience and practicing discipline to stay on top of things. I've learned that weeks like this can quickly turn unproductive if I fall behind early in the week.</p>\n<p>Stay flexible but maintain the discipline to accomplish what needs to be done, and enjoy the full benefits of leading a flexible work-travel life.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/pexels-pixabay-268134-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Meditation on a beach - almost perfect\" class=\"wp-image-2632\"/>\n<h3><strong>Meditation to Clear Headspace</strong></h3>\n<p>There are a few factors that contribute to my excellent headspace and productivity. Meditation is clearly a benefit. The smaller window of focused energy allows me to nail tasks in less time, without distractions or bad habits. This allows further more time for me to pursue my true passions and interests.</p>\n<p>Of course, it's not perfect, and I'm human. Distractions and urges usually do settle in, but even on an “unproductive” day I can push through to 5pm to diligently finish what really needs to be done. Discipline to complete work and fulfil the weekday routine is what keeps me on course and schedule.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/meditation-weekends-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2633\"/><br/><i>Few commitments on weekends allows critical, freeing time for the self</i>\n<h3><strong>Free Yourself on Weekends</strong></h3>\n<p>Now, the weekends are completely different. I intentionally make few if any plans, particularly on Sunday. I sleep in on weekends, although my natural body clock still wakes me around 8am. On Saturday mornings I'll attend to remaining writing tasks, such as penning this article! For the past couple of years it's been about editing and polishing <strong><a href=\"https://planseabook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my epic travel-adventure-self-help book, Plan Sea</a></strong>.</p>\n<p>Sundays are essential to rest and recharge with no stress or obligations. Then, if I feel the urge to do anything, I can do it <strong>because I want to</strong> – and with no pressure. It's not out of outside pressure or “having to”. Sundays are often restful and creative for me, while pushing me to head outside into nature. On Sunday evenings I complete my Monday task list, although most of this is already jotted down from Friday.</p>\n<p>Then the cycle continues. I probably maintain this routine for 48-50 weeks a year. The exceptions come around the end-of-year holidays and whatever week-long festivals or road trips I might have planned. I greatly enjoy turning off my phone and the Internet and taking a break from it all.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/nuns-with-sticks-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2634\"/><br/><i>Do you have the discipline needs to efficiently work while traveling?</i>\n<h3><strong>Are you truly productive? Make small tweaks today</strong></h3>\n<p>What works for me won't work for everybody else. Sure, maybe you enjoy your coffee-news-and-social media mornings, but ask yourself: Are you truly productive? Does this make you happy? Our lives are about constant experimentation, so if you feel in a malaise or something's not sitting well, don't hesitate to mix things up and try out new techniques. Keep trying until something sticks, and be ready to tweak and adapt as necessary.</p>\n<p>Stay tuned to <strong><a href=\"https://digitalnomad.blog\">DigitalNomad.Blog</a></strong> for further insight and adventures.</p>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from DigitalNomad.Blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://digitalnomad.blog/improving-work-discipline-on-the-road/ </em><hr/></center>          ",

There was an extended point of my life I'd regularly “work” 9am-midnight, although in retrospect the vast majority of that time was wasted online for nothing.</p>\n<p>The moment we open portals to other people's energies – e.g. news, sports, social media – our subconscious overheats and distraction is imminent. We're plunged into the opinions and stresses of others, whether its hysterical, polarising opinion on current affairs, or the drudge of clueless sheep on social media, or the nonsense world of professional sports. None of these we have any control over – unless we don't consume it to begin with. Furthermore, whatever platforms or sites we frequent, we're bombarded with advertising, often targeted to further distract us from other duties and scientifically crafted to stoke our emotions.</p>\n<h3><strong>Today's Far-Improved Work-Travel Routine</strong></h3>\n<p>Flash forward to the present and I've nurtured a far more productive and calming routine. My routine requires far less time in front of the computer or absorbing the stress, opinions or ads of others. I can spend more time in nature (I'm in the jungle a 10-minute walk from a beach) and definitely immersing myself way more in my passions.</p>\n<p>Now my “work” days are shorter and more compact, unless you include morning writing or evening music, which I don't. To me, writing and music are what I want to do in my life, so they rarely feel like a chore. Furthermore, this is a routine that I can easily continue anywhere I happen to be in the world – even during lockdown.</p>\n<p>Everything starts the night before. The only habit I've carried over from my earlier freelance work career is writing a task list the night before. When I sleep I put my phone in Airplane Mode to eliminate wireless signals and notifications disrupting my brain or dreams. Factoring in sleep cycles I typically wake a little before 8am, and dive straight into an hour's Vipassana meditation. Morning meditation is blissful, in a half-dream state, and whizzes by, while calming the mind for the day ahead.</p>\n<p>With my brain refreshed I make breakfast – typically organic muesli with fresh fruit and coconut milk – and then plow into my morning's writing tasks. Note that I remain completely offline through this, to avoid distractions.</p>\n<p>After my writing duties are complete I connect online and begin catching up on messages and emails. Nowadays there are pleasantly not a lot of either. Checking my task list I jump into client work and other important tasks, and nail them as early as possible. When inevitable distraction hits, to take a break I reference music magazines for lessons that stoke my subconscious for later, or exercise. Over the course of the day I check whatever social media I feel like, without becoming stuck in timelines, walls or paranoid discussions.</p>\n<p>It astounds me that on a regular basis, by 2 or 3pm, I'm usually done all my proper work for the day. I often turn my attention into music, watching tutorial videos to continue accumulating knowledge for later practice and experimentation. Most evenings I'll spend hours working on music – composing, arranging, production. I finish writing my task list for the next day. If I'm bored and have time to spare I'll sit another hour of Vipassana in the evening, and if not, I'll do this before bed for a better sleep. It helps that I presently don't have a girlfriend or much of a social life here in Goa!</p>\n<h3><strong>Don't Forget the Flexibility in a Freelance Life</strong></h3>\n<p>I wanted to add this point about leaving ourselves open to partake in unexpected adventures and magical experiences. If we're too rigid in our routine and intensely locked into our imaginary procedures we can miss out on some of the best times of our lives.</p>\n<p>For me here in Goa last week was great example, even though it was an unusual week. On Tuesday night I sat on the beach late into the night talking with a new friend, and had to sleep in a little on Wednesday. Still, I got all my work done.</p>\n<p>On Thursday morning I attended a weekly group <strong>Vipassana meditation</strong> session that unexpectedly extended from the scheduled hour. After mutually cooking and eating breakfast we sat for an additional hour - taking 5 hours all up. When I returned home I made sure I accomplished all my tasks for the day.</p>\n<p>On Friday morning I was invited to try the travel activities of a local friend. I went kayaking then rode a fishing boat to a remote island where we picked coconuts from a tree. Afterward I enjoyed tea from a friend's house. When I returned home I attended to all my tasks before a visit to another friend for a haircut.</p>\n<p>The common theme here is that, irrespective of whatever activities I participated in, on all 3 occasions <strong>I got my work done</strong>. Sure, I have 2 decades of experience and practicing discipline to stay on top of things. I've learned that weeks like this can quickly turn unproductive if I fall behind early in the week.</p>\n<p>Stay flexible but maintain the discipline to accomplish what needs to be done, and enjoy the full benefits of leading a flexible work-travel life.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/pexels-pixabay-268134-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Meditation on a beach - almost perfect\" class=\"wp-image-2632\"/>\n<h3><strong>Meditation to Clear Headspace</strong></h3>\n<p>There are a few factors that contribute to my excellent headspace and productivity. Meditation is clearly a benefit. The smaller window of focused energy allows me to nail tasks in less time, without distractions or bad habits. This allows further more time for me to pursue my true passions and interests.</p>\n<p>Of course, it's not perfect, and I'm human. Distractions and urges usually do settle in, but even on an “unproductive” day I can push through to 5pm to diligently finish what really needs to be done. Discipline to complete work and fulfill the weekday routine is what keeps me on course and schedule.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/meditation-weekends-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2633\"/><br/><i>Few commitments on weekends allows critical, freeing time for the self</i>\n<h3><strong>Free Yourself on Weekends</strong></h3>\n<p>Now, the weekends are completely different. I intentionally make few if any plans, particularly on Sunday. I sleep in on weekends, although my natural body clock still wakes me around 8am. On Saturday mornings I'll attend to remaining writing tasks, such as penning this article! For the past couple of years it's been about editing and polishing <strong><a href=\"https://planseabook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my epic travel-adventure-self-help book, Plan Sea</a></strong>.</p>\n<p>Sundays are essential to rest and recharge with no stress or obligations. Then, if I feel the urge to do anything, I can do it <strong>because I want to</strong> – and with no pressure. It's not out of outside pressure or “having to”. Sundays are often restful and creative for me, while pushing me to head outside into nature. On Sunday evenings I complete my Monday task list, although most of this is already jotted down from Friday.</p>\n<p>Then the cycle continues. I probably maintain this routine for 48-50 weeks a year. The exceptions come around the end-of-year holidays and whatever week-long festivals or road trips I might have planned. I greatly enjoy turning off my phone and the Internet and taking a break from it all.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/nuns-with-sticks-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2634\"/><br/><i>Do you have the discipline needs to efficiently work while traveling?</i>\n<h3><strong>Are you truly productive?

It's definitely challenging to balance a comfortable home routine in a city we know, then jump into non-stop travel where everything is new and a distraction.</p>\n<p>Over the years I've diligently tweaked and improved my work discipline, countering distractions and crafting daily and weekly momentum. I've nurtured a format and schedule that works for me on weekdays, while leaving my weekends open, free and creative. This has allowed me to efficiently <strong><a href=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/jeju-island-south-korea/\">work from beaches on tropical islands</a></strong>, through dozens of countries and while in transit.</p>\n<p>What might work for me won't work for everybody, but perhaps this article will help inspire to make some necessary tweaks of your own.</p>\n<h3><strong>Sometimes What We Think is Ideal... is Counter-intuitive</strong></h3>\n<p>For many of my 12 years in Melbourne, Australia, I thought I had the ultimate routine. On weekdays I'd wake by 8:30am, prepare breakfast and coffee, then dive online before 9am. Immediately I'd open email, to make it feel like work had started, before browsing through my regular news sites (<strong><a href=\"https://news.bbc.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBC</a></strong>, <strong><a href=\"https://theguardian.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Guardian</a></strong>) and through sports (MLB, fantasy baseball, Manchester United). Then I'd trawl through social media, feeling like I had a good handle on what was happening among my friends and the wider world. Throughout the course of the morning I'd attend to my work tasks – always from a list the night before – while, whenever distraction hit – frequent as a programmer – I'd return to social media feeds and fantasy baseball research.</p>\n<p>By the evening – anywhere from 4-6pm – having satisfied most or all of my tasks I'd call it a day and progress to evening plans. If there were none, it was common for me to remain on the computer hacking away on personal projects or certain client work. There was an extended point of my life I'd regularly “work” 9am-midnight, although in retrospect the vast majority of that time was wasted online for nothing.</p>\n<p>The moment we open portals to other people's energies – e.g. news, sports, social media – our subconscious overheats and distraction is imminent. We're plunged into the opinions and stresses of others, whether its hysterical, polarising opinion on current affairs, or the drudge of clueless sheep on social media, or the nonsense world of professional sports. None of these we have any control over – unless we don't consume it to begin with. Furthermore, whatever platforms or sites we frequent, we're bombarded with advertising, often targeted to further distract us from other duties and scientifically crafted to stoke our emotions.</p>\n<h3><strong>Today's Far-Improved Work-Travel Routine</strong></h3>\n<p>Flash forward to the present and I've nurtured a far more productive and calming routine. My routine requires far less time in front of the computer or absorbing the stress, opinions or ads of others.

For me, a freelancer for 20+ years, I've recently started migrating my life from web work towards full immersion in conscious arts and music projects.</p>\n<p>The past few months I've been holed up during lockdown in paradise: Agonda, south Goa, India. With little much to do than work, or swim in the pristine ocean (before monsoon), I had a lot of extra time to learn and practice music.</p>\n<img src=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/AGONDA-BEACH-GOA-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Agonda Beach, Goa\" class=\"wp-image-2456\"/>\n<h3><strong>WRITING AND PRODUCTION OF AGONDA - THE MUSIC</strong></h3>\n<p><strong>AGONDA</strong> came about from experimentation with organic-inspired <strong>Pangea Instruments</strong> in <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.reasonstudios.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Reason 11 from Reason Studios</a></strong>. Soon I had the opening lines and various \"Blocks\" of compatible ideas, that I was able to easily arrange into a more lengthy piece. This was the first time I used Reason Blocks to experimenting with arranging a song, and now it's becoming a habit.</p>\n<p>While it was nearly wrapped up within weeks (compared to the months it's previously taken me for new songs), upon referencing the song on a JBL speaker, the bass was overwhelming, yet lacking. Furthermore, the drums continued to irk me, needing countless hours of tweaking. I stripped the whole thing down, adding a more intricate, upright bassline, and chipped away at meddling muddy frequencies with various EQ techniques. Furthermore, I practiced everything from multi-band compression (discarding attempts in the end), and my first real tests of impressive <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.soundtoys.com\" target=\"_blank\">Soundtoys plugins</a></strong> (especially <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.soundtoys.com/product/decapitator/\" target=\"_blank\">Decapitator</a></strong> and <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.soundtoys.com/product/crystallizer/\" target=\"_blank\">Crystallizer</a></strong>). They complemented my growing arsenal of <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.waves.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Waves plugins</a></strong>, particularly <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.waves.com/plugins/h-reverb-hybrid-reverb\" target=\"_blank\">H-Reverb</a></strong> and <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://www.waves.com/plugins/renaissance-bass\" target=\"_blank\">R-Bass</a></strong>.</p>\n<p>Practicing sampling techniques, I sampled actual beach and ocean sounds, as well as barks of beach dogs, from nearby Agonda Beach. The result is another adventurous and hopeful piece: happy in places, determined in others, with dark elements lurking beneath the brighter surface.</p>\n<p>Lockdown in Agonda has been paradoxically bi-polar: plenty of introspective ups and downs; making the most of the time I've been afforded to spend on my true passions, while extraordinarily frustrated about the (prison) state of the world. Now this experience is immortalised in this ANIMISM production of AGONDA. I hope you enjoy.</p>\n<p>ANIMISM a.k.a.

It's a sad orchestral-based song that features in various live, recording and film situations you'll eventually hear elsewhere.</p>\n<p>The song was largely recorded using <strong><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://www.spitfireaudio.com/bbcso/discover/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spitfire's Discover sample pack from the BBC Symphony Orchestra</a></strong>. There is a layered Boris synth from <strong><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://www.reasonstudios.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reason</a></strong> underneath that gels the whole song together.</p>\n<p>\"Heartbreak and loss are humbling. Often ripping out of open wounds, the beauty in sorrow is that IT MEANT SOMETHING. This is for everyone who has loved and lost, been humbled by ego, and mustered the will to continue along their paths. Inspired by, and grateful for, the journey.\"</p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://soundcloud.com/animismworld/humbling-00\n</div><br/><i>ANIMISM - HUMBLING - on Soundcloud</i>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://vimeo.com/433121491\n</div><figcaption>Music from ANIMISM - HUMBLING</figcaption>\n<h3><strong>Other Music from ANIMISM</strong></h3>\n<p>Prior to releasing HUMBLING, ANIMISM produced a downtempo adventure called AGONDA, written from lockdown in Agonda, Goa.</p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://vimeo.com/426906301\n</div><figcaption><strong>AGONDA by ANIMISM</strong></figcaption>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://soundcloud.com/animismworld/agonda\n</div><figcaption>AGONDA by ANIMISM on Soundcloud</figcaption>\n<p>You can read more about the <strong><a href=\"https://digitalnomad.blog/animism-agonda/\">AGONDA release by ANIMISM here...</a></strong></p>\n<h3><strong>ANIMISM LINKS</strong></h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://animism.live\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Official ANIMISM website - https://animism.live</a></strong></p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://animismmusic.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ANIMISM on Bandcamp</a></strong></p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://soundcloud.com/animismworld\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ANIMISM on Soundcloud</a></strong></p>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from DigitalNomad.Blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://digitalnomad.blog/animism-humbling/ </em><hr/></center>          ",
