// 19 half-finished projects 😩

05 December 2025
Expectation: Go out for breakfast then collect my online shopping parcels on the way back. Simple.

Reality:
  • Go out for breakfast. While waiting for food, get an urgent call from client. Tell food vendor I have to go but I'll come back.
  • Rush home to fix issue. ①
  • Walk back to coffee shop. Food is ready. Realise I forgot my wallet.
  • Walk home to get wallet. ②
  • Walk back to coffee shop (again). Finally enjoy breakfast + catch up on messages.
  • Walk home. Realise I forgot to pick up parcels 🤦🏻‍♂️ ③
  • Walk back to parcel locker (which is near the coffee shop). Pick up parcels.
  • Finally walk home for the last time. ④

My neighbours saw me coming home four times in the span of an hour.
Bright side: Scored 4,683 steps before midday ✌️

Today I worked on rejigging my daily schedule. Previous one was causing me anxiety and overwhelm. So I spent some quality time with my besties Claude & Gemini figuring out what to focus on this quarter. 

I listed out all my half-finished and yet-to-start side projects, and guess how many? - - - 19 in all! >_<

Yes, it's classic ADHD but I'm tired of talking about it. Let's move on.
Previous daily sched. Treating everything as equally important when they're not. 7+ different projects competing for attention daily, which is why I felt anxious and guilty. ADHD makes this worse because context-switching between so many things drains energy.
New daily sched. Maker School gets prime real estate. Client work is protected. CS50 gets dedicated time. Side projects become flexible. Context-switching is minimised.
 Conclusion:
  1. Main focus: Maker School. 
  2. The only side projects I'm allowed to work on are Startup Marketing Tools & Ad Poppa, with conditions:
    1. I will quickly finish & launch SMT by 26 December 2025 (it's 50% done presently)
    2. Then focus on Ad Poppa from 27 December 2025 to 1 March 2026.
    3. I will NOT start any new projects until 2 March 2026.
Earned: $0.00 // Time: 2.0 hours
