The first tool summary is coming nicely
Did marketing for M

Figured out a strategy for doing marketing that doesn't me as much anxiety anymore. The trick is to detach myself from the product. Which is very much in line with monk-ness.

No to-dos for tomorrow because of building-wide power shutdown. I'm going to take the day off to go gallivanting.

don't you love it when you don't hit your step goal and your stupid snarky Pebble watch roasts you 😩

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.
