Simple goals

// Simple goals

Deliberately unset the alarm clock so I'd "wake up with the sun" and let me catch up on sleep debt... but that only resulted in me sleeping until 11:00AM 😕

So tonight that changes.
Gotta get serious if I want to hit my goals at all.

I already freed myself of all responsibilities and managed to fully go into Monk Mode - so I am NOT going to waste this opportunity!

Took the first 3 (of 13) weeks to "get into the groove". I've proven that I can:

Wake up early
Follow a schedule

So now I need to constantly keep my very clear and simple goals in mind:

Hit $8333 with Monk Work
Run 2km and gain 6kg muscle
Master Rails to turn $8333 into $10k

Earned: $227.25 // Time: 2.0 hours

About

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.
