Project: What are you working on?


Progress: Updates on what’s been done.

Did not work on anything stated in last week's report.

Problem: Any blockers or challenges?

New client finally replied. Wants a reduced scope, which is fine. It doesn't compromise my worth because I'm still charging based on my hourly rate. After a few exchanges, he now wants to split the work into two phases.

That aside, this was another challenging week. I had to go to Singapore for a day, then back to parents' hometown. This took up two full days of being AFK.

Perspective: Lessons learned or insights.

You know how I said I want to slowmad? I had this thought the other day that perhaps being in the hometown is like a test run for slowmading. To see if I can really be away from the creature comforts of my home. No second monitor, no big desk, no gaming chair, no bluetooth speaker, etc. And still be able to work / make money online.

So far so good. I can do it with a bare bones setup. Just my laptop, mobile phone, all the necessary cables for charging whatever shit, my notebook. 7 days' worth of clothes. That's about it.

My work hasn't suffered at all. I'm still doing my client work and getting paid well.

Plan: What’s the goals for this week?

Regulate back my schedule - exercise, study, side projects.

Unker Accountability Checkpoints are weekly reviews that my frand, LJ, and I submit to each other. 
Unker is a Malaysian colloquial way of saying "uncle". 
We two uncles keep each other accountable.
