Week 41

What Happened This Week

I started tracking my time again to figure out what I can do less or what I tend to focus on. I noticed how “wasting time” helps with creating a good morning. I’m talking about browsing on social media, read e-mails, listen to music and not worry about anything. Combine that with meditation and listening to music in the bathroom.

It felt like a mini-vacation. Those 30-minutes, while it’s short, made a big difference.

I tried to replicate what I did the next day but it failed. I haven’t figured out why that day was awesome while the following days are meh.

***

I continue to write this new article about Stoicism and getting laid off. I have to admit, it takes me more than two weeks to craft/polish an article. I am now editing the editing stage.

***

I gained two more followers on Medium. But I wonder why they followed me and hope it wasn’t for promotion purposes. I need readers not followers.

***

My client’s insurance application was denied. Oh well. So close.

I needed to spend time to create a plan for next year.

***

Recorded another podcast. This is the episode where I felt inspired and “jealous” then questioned what am I doing today to better my physical health.

***

I wanna pursue the business idea of helping others write their resume (manufacturing industry only).

***

I still feel nervous presenting to teammates online. That’s what I felt from our recent training. I didn’t do much. But I still felt scared and uneasy. It also didn’t help that I had technical difficulties that resulted in everyone waiting.

Most of them probably didn’t mind. But I hate wasting people’s time.

***

I miss my daughter even when she’s just a floor away from me (I work in the basement). Not sure why. But it could be a sign that I don’t feel like working. Maybe because I feel tired. That might also be the reason why I don’t feel as driven as before.
