Weekly reflection

HIGHS: Mindset adjustment that I'm still earning passive income as I've always wanted. New client replied.
LOWS: Travel took up productivity time. 1 of my 3 plants withered.
MEMORABLE: Realised how good it was to be in my own space again. Singapore never felt like home to me. But now, maybe it does.

3 big wins for the week

Energy boost from 1-day trip to Singapore.
Agreed to do new client work in 2 phases.
Made $3 from affiliates.

Best thing that happened this week
Getting a short break from full-time elder care duties. Even though it was a mere 24 hours, it energised me. Had an epiphany about this hometown stint - it's like a test / training / preparation for my future slowmad life.

How will I improve next week
Wake up at the same time, follow planned schedule, and exercise every day.

About

I built and sold two brick & mortar food businesses between 2006-2019.

Now that I'm semi-retired, I ask myself, "What if I spend 10,000 hours chasing curiosity?"

10k to $10k is a live changelog of my journey to see if ~~following my interests~~ "fvcking around and finding out" can make me $10,000 a month. All while living the slowmad life I've designed.

Here's my official first post on this blog. Everything before this date is backfilled.

I have dyslexia, ADHD, and Tourette's. If I've made it this far in life, so can you.
