Work done, kids in bed. Finally getting around to watching The Bear — about 6 months late on that one.

Had more open time to fill today (as opposed to responding to client work or tasks). Feel pretty good about where I ended up.

What did I work on today?

• Pagetear:

  • Wrote a few emails for a client to promote new blog content.

  • Organized some ideas for a client’s social proof section on their landing page.

  • Got word that a client wants to pause — which is bitter sweet. Bitter because I want to keep that relationship in tact and grow revenue, but sweet because that’s literally why I run PT with the pausable model.

• Ghostwriting:

  • Submitted some new content today, but didn’t really focus here as much today.

• Content:

  • Wrote 40-ish future posts today. A lot of shorter stuff, a couple medium-sized posts.

  • Started plotting out my next issue of Viral Examples.

  • I literally built this website today, all in one go.

What did I struggle with today?

• Routine is great, but it also gets pretty boring. Most of my days end up feeling pretty much the same…wake up, get kids to school, walk 2 miles, get ready, work work work, lunch, work work, hang with kids, put them to bed, chill. Might need to shake some of the “chill” parts up.

• Prepping to submit taxes is the worst thing in my life right now and it ain’t close.

What did Iearn today?

• I planned my day the night before. And it worked so much better for getting straight into my work this morning.

• If you have an idea for a project, try to build it in one sitting. If you can’t, the chances you finish it go down significantly.

What questions am I asking today?

• Can I build this project in one deep work session? If not, how can I be sure I’ll finish it?

• What could I shake up in my routine that could have high impact?
