Thought I'd conk out and sleep well last night after the 12-hour day I had, but I didn't! Why?? So I snoozed for an hour, skipped exercise, skipped reading. Still managed to get to my desk at 9:15AM and still smashed the day.
Admittedly had my hopes up that today would be like yesterday. The important thing is I hit today's goal of finally pushing F&B Tools to production! And it looks sweeeeeeet to see my baby live 🥹
Also continued to force myself to do my coding studies even though I really felt like gaming this afternoon. This system seems to work, keeps me in check. Loving my Monk Lyfe, loving myself, and loving what I do more and more.
7:16PM now – shutting down on time today so I can start winding down earlier.
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.
