Always better days

Welp, I had a wee bit of a dental emergency today. Chipped a part of my tooth bad enough that I have to get a root canal in a couple weeks. Good thing I’m slightly terrified of needles poking around my face.

What did I work on today?

  • Pagetear:

    • Did a small request for a more technical client on their home page CTA section. Learning a lot about a totally new sector, which forces me to rethink my go-to frameworks for copy. It’s more challenging, but it’s actually helping me grow my tool belt.

    • I actually did build out the simple outreach table, and filled out the first few contacts to target. Here’s a peak:

    • And I built a super simple CRM that works just for Pagetear:

  • Ghostwriting:

    • Did zero work on this today. Just being honest.

  • Content:

    • Again, the only content work I did today was this post you’re reading now. A near-goose egg.

What did I struggle with today?

  • Honestly, a pretty tough day. The pain of the tooth chip wasn’t much of anything. But the fallout meant spending 2 hours at the dentist, all to NOT get the problem fixed yet. Pair that with my wife and one of my kids being sick, and I just had to take on a lot today — without accomplishing much of anything for my biz.

What did Iearn today?

  • I’m sure grateful that I can essentially not work all day and not have to report that to any manager. Even though today was tougher, I still saw a lot of benefit to the life I’m building.

What questions am I asking today?

  • What are 3 things I am unequivocally grateful for today?

  • If my day had been perfect, would I actually be significantly happier or more the same?
