The Diary Game [March 31, 2026] // A Day of Supervising, Creating, and Getting Things Done
There is something about waking up and already knowing the day is going to be full. That was exactly how this Monday morning felt. Before I even stepped out of the house, my mind was already running through the list of things I needed to get done. It was going to be one of those days where you do not really stop moving, and I knew it. So I got up, got myself together, and decided to take the day head on.
The first thing I settled down to do was something I had been working on for my YouTube channel, Tales From the Old World. I had been editing a video about Cinderella — not the Disney version most people grew up watching, but the dark, old version that tells a very different story. I worked on the thumbnail design as well, and I must say I was satisfied with how it came out.
The thumbnail showed a young woman with a serious, intense look on her face, with the golden blood-stained slipper in front of her and a dark haunted castle in the background. The title read "Cinderella: The Ending Disney Buried In Blood." That is the kind of content my channel is all about — the true stories behind the fairy tales people think they know. Getting that thumbnail right took some careful design work, but by the time I was done, it looked exactly the way I wanted it to.
After that creative work in the morning, I headed out to my workplace. My job involves a lot of supervision, and today was no different. When I arrived at the office, I could see that the compound was in a rough state. There was a lot of dirt, debris, broken materials, and general mess scattered around the surroundings.
I immediately got to work directing the boys to start cleaning things up. I supervised the whole clearing process, making sure the wheelbarrows were being properly loaded, the rubbish was moved to the right places, and the ground was being cleared properly. It was not glamorous work to watch, but it needed to be done and it needed to be done right. By the time they were through, the area looked noticeably better than how we met it.
That was not the only thing going on at the workplace. There was a truck that had broken down right there in the office compound, and the mechanics had come to fix it. I made sure I was around to supervise them too. Two of the men were working hard on the tyres and the wheel hub area of the truck, tools scattered on the red laterite ground around them.
One of them had his hands deep inside the wheel, working on the hub components, while another one in a yellow reflective vest was assisting from the side. I kept an eye on the progress to make sure things were moving along and being handled properly.
I also spent part of the afternoon over at the block factory section, where some new blocks were being moulded and formed. I walked around, checked on the workers, and made sure the block production process was going the way it was supposed to.
Seeing those freshly made concrete blocks sitting in neat rows gave a sense of progress — things were actually getting done. I also noticed a truck that had been used to bring in some stone chippings and sand for construction purposes parked nearby, with a worker offloading materials. Everything was active, everything was moving.
But maybe the thing I felt most personally proud of today was finishing the book cover design for the prayer book I am planning to publish on Selar. The book is titled "God Heard Your Cry" and it is published under my Daily Prayers brand. I had been working on the cover for a while, and today I finally completed it.
The final design had a powerful image of praying hands resting on an open Bible, with a dramatic beam of golden light breaking through dark storm clouds above. The title sits in bold gold letters at the top, and the subtitle reads "120 Powerful Prayers for Financial Breakthrough, Healing, Divine Favour, Restoration, and Total Deliverance." Looking at the finished cover, I felt good about it. It looked like something people would actually stop and pick up.
By the time evening came, I was genuinely tired. I boarded a taxi to head back home, and I sat back and just let the drive happen. I took a quick selfie in the car — just one of those quiet moments when you reflect on the day. Back at home, I sat down and created some content posts before finally deciding to rest.
It was a full day. A productive one. And honestly, I would not have it any other way.
