Chronodex week 2, 3 and 4 making hatch marks and outlines

There are two drawing techniques that excel at clearing my mind and dropping my blood pressure:

hatch marks

outlining 

these two simple techniques are so automatic that i am able to focus on the goals i wish to accomplish in my chronodex's open time blocks.

Macro eye

just reviewing my clear thoughts.

EDC essentials should include a pair of pliers- Ceetee bottle opener

Out off all the tools I carry, 

I would have to promote the pliers as amongst the MOST important.

ceetee pliers as amongst the most important everyday carry items

my grandfather had taught me to file down one end of the pliers to act as a small pry and a wood screw driver. something so simple yet greatly increased the tool's potential. 

filing down one side of the pliers handles acts as a pry and a wood screw driver.

and not to lighten the value of the tool, but also functions as one of the fastest bottle openers out there.

like a gunfighter at high noon, from the hip to coins on eyelids.  

ceetee pliers doubling as the quick means to an after work partake!

Chronodex end of year and week one 2015

I often use dates as a moment of emphasis, a way to catalog where i am at with my endeavors.

with the chornodex being so time oriented, using weeks or the new year as such a point is very natural.

in 2014, 

i have been greatly enjoying the importance of organizing my time, setting reasonable expectations on my day and the visual development of my chronodex. 

in 2015,

i will continue to challenge the visual vocabulary i use in the chronodex. in fact, it is this challenging will continue to keep the chronodex fresh and personally valuable. i should add that even though i will be continue to develop the chronodex (for myself) i will absolutely keep to my quick time frame for constructing each one. in another post i will talk about my need to keep the chronodex making a fairly speedy process.
