Wrapped up functionality for the big client project, did a final test run, recorded a video walkthrough, and sent it off.
Not much time left for side projects. I could have squeezed in "just 30 minutes of coding", but resisted the urge. Because I know how obsessive I get - 30 minutes will turn into 3 hours.
So I started cooking instead. And for once I managed to sit down to have dinner while it's still light outside. It's nice!
Now I'll have at least 4 hours between dinner and bed time, which should help me sleep better. I know this is common knowledge, but it's something I tend to ignore. Bad habits needs to be unlearnt... one small step at a time.
What does 10,000 hours of pure curiosity look like — and can it pay $10,000 a month?
That's the experiment.
I sold a 13-year restaurant business in 2019, taught myself to code, and have been chasing every "what if" since. Real hours, real dollars, updated daily.
I've been self-employed for 20 years. My goal is to keep it that way for the next 20.
