I woke up using my Unbed alarm, fought through a slow start, then hit a strong groove working on my own projects before switching into client work. I focused heavily on polishing my Notion master log, building out birthday and anniversary databases, and experimenting with important dates tracking.

Episode Summary by AI
I reviewed my hours with clients to see how much I could cut back and still afford life as my full-time job ends. I’m frustrated with the lack of time for my own project, which has grown into a polished, high-value Notion system I plan to sell for $10K. I’m committed to perfecting it rather than rushing.
