Daily Reflections

I slept at my girlfriend’s place and helped her with some errands this morning because she wasn’t feeling well. I could have returned home earlier, but I needed to visit the pet store. So, I decided to walk home with Duke, my dog, from the Mile End, which took about an hour.

This decision was partly a conscious choice and partly procrastination. However, I rationalized that one of the benefits of being self-employed is the flexibility to create my own schedule, so I might as well enjoy it sometimes.

The first part of my day went well; I accomplished what I needed to do. However, I encountered a technical issue on a website that slowed me down. I didn’t have enough time to address it and, though I had hoped to make more progress, such setbacks are part of the job.

In the latter half of the day, I volunteered to help a friend with a catering event, seeing it as an opportunity to earn a bit of money for an evening’s work.

Today was challenging. I got sidetracked by an unexpected and frustrating situation, which prevented me from focusing on my work. My mind couldn’t reengage afterwards, making the day feel unproductive. I’m not very pleased with myself about this.

Today was pretty good, even though I started late because I was setting up this post template.

I did 6 hours of work, but a lot of it was taken up by a long client meeting. I also spent an hour on passive income projects.

Financially, it was a great day with $1,200 coming in, making this month look good so far.

I didn’t exercise since I’m still sick, and my diet wasn’t great either. But overall, I’m really happy with how the day went.

Waking up today, I felt alright, even though it was a bit late at 9 am. Taking care of my dog and jotting down my Morning Pages meant I only really started my day around 11, kicking off with a video call. That’s way later than I’d like.

My mood stayed pretty good throughout, but I did lose some steam in the afternoon. Overall, the day was okay, but I definitely need to amp up my productivity and make a point to start my days earlier.
