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.
I have a degree in Marketing Management from University of Otago, New Zealand. I ran a successful restaurant for 13 years in Singapore, a brutally competitive market for F&B. I also ran a bakery for 7 of those years. I sold both businesses for 6 figures in 2019.
Then I taught myself to code, and have been working in software since. In 2021, I was hired as General Manager for a restaurant software startup, where I helped market and grow the app to $400k/year revenue.
On the side, I started building my own small projects, aimed at near-passive income. So began a 10,000-hour-long experiment to see if I can make $10k/month by "f*cking around and finding out". This blog is a daily record of the real hours spent & dollars earned.
