Did not sleep in after alarm. Actually rose & shone at 7:15AM. Had kiwi yoghurt oats and read SEO Handbook with breakfast OMG who am I?? AND went out for a walk, did 2.5km in 20 minutes. PLUS push-ups whuttt! Showered and was at my desk by 9:15AM 😱
Based on my Llama Life, I was to be done by 5:30PM. But i suppose that's the point of under-blocking – in between I had to poop, make snacks, and some tasks ran overtime. All in all I finished around 7:00PM with no time for the last GA task.
But I consider today a GREAT win! BEST and most disciplined day since starting SelfJournal :)
Last week: waking up late at random times every day This week: wake up @ 7AM Next week: wake up @ 6AM!
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.
