Doing One Thing [71/365]

To make progress, one of the best solution is to focus on one single thing. For me right now, I have my day job, this daily writing, and I want to create a project that can help me become independent. This is too much. Since I have a family to take care of, I cannot just quit my job. I have committed to this daily writing for a year, so it is hard for me to quit that. Read more

Not Giving Up [70/365]

I’ve missed a few days of writing. To be very honest, that’s discouraging. It’s not been easy to choose to continue writing, I almost just gave up.

Take the time to rest, to get better. It’s your body’s way of telling you that you should take it easy for a bit. This time is as important as the time you get down to work. Read more

Lacking Inspiration [67/365]

Tonight, I was having a hard time coming up with something to write about. I have been working all day, not really thinking about more than those technical details and I am left with no inspiration. Then I remembered that yesterday, I wrote about leaning into your obstacles to find support for you to grow. So I did, and this lack of inspiration turned into the topic I was looking for. Read more
