Time spent
Total: 167:55 hrs
The plurality of my time was spent on Pingcoin, which had been more or less my plan. I'm working on an onset annotator in javascript, but it's taking me a bit longer than expected.
A considerable amount was spent on the Following my Curiosity category. This is mainly due to the 18 hours I clocked working on the antique map with 3D relief (opens in a new tab). This was not planned, but I felt such strong curiosity and motivation that I felt I had to work on this. I've been trying to make it a policy to trust my subconscious and let it pursue anything that gives me energy. Next step? No idea. I'm really pleased with the end result though.
Revenue
Rapid Breakup Recovery
Ebook sales: $38 Coaching calls: $50 Total: $88 I removed Drip and thereby my 7-day email course. This has impacted my sales as I haven't taken the time to replace it with anything else yet.
Grand total: $88
Overall
What went well
- Clocked a lot of hours
- Finished the web dev course
- Got my second client
What did not go well
- I have still not edited the RBR podcast episode and the 4 Intercompanion podcast episodes. I am struggling to balance my desire to focus with keeping existing projects alive. This month I tried to focus on Pingcoin (which you can see by the time that was spent there). However, in order to do so, I neglected other projects. I can't help but wonder if I'm approaching this correctly
- I still haven't laid out my goals for 2019.
- I'm behind on my personal accounting
What can I do differently
- Do my accounting at the beginning of the month
