656. Unbed Works, Focus, Clumping Hours

Recorded on: Tuesday, August 05, 2025, 10:27 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I tested the Unbed alarm and it worked flawlessly, getting me out of bed and working within minutes, though I felt sick all day. I finished Trey's check-in tracker and polished it beyond expectations but ran into a Notion transfer issue that could impact future sales. I emailed Notion support and got an AI-generated reply. I also asked Dawson about clumping hours for deeper work focus, which he approved. Dealt with Tesla warranty issues and a drive axle repair as well.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"It didn't require discipline for me to do anything or willpower or I just got up because I wanted to turn the alarm off and so I did."
"I need to keep up this same urgency, I think. The same level of getting shit done."
"Make shit faster, implement it for the coach that needs it so I can see what the problems are when they use it and then I can fix it and then when I actually sell it, it's even better."

"It’s a Volkswagen something. It’s white. And that’s how much I give a fuck."

"I feel like I already have a headache based on the fact that I know how to improve it."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today was a weird mix of frustration and pride. I didn’t feel great physically, but mentally I’m proud of what I built. The check-in tracker is done and looks damn good. I was annoyed at the Tesla situation and even more annoyed at Notion's transfer issue, but it’s all manageable. Getting Dawson’s approval to batch hours feels like a huge win. I’m really just trying to stay focused on what matters: building, improving, shipping. But man, I’m wiped.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Woke up early with Unbed alarm, ate a Costco muffin, worked on Trey's check-in tracker, polished the design and functionality, emailed Notion support about a bug, messaged Dawson about clumping work hours, drove over an hour to drop off Tesla for warranty repair, got a crappy loaner car, drove back, dealt with fatigue and brain fog, continued working for several hours, and finally wrapped up with alarm set for tomorrow.

I reviewed the Unbed alarm device and its flaws like the non-recurring alarm system, app limitations, and overall clunky UX.

Also reflected on financial goals, future home life with Lexi, and being motivated by the desire to afford life upgrades.

I'm building something massive and I just want it to work.

Episode Summary by AI
Trey cut my hours from 20 to 10 per week, dropping my income by $1,280 a month, but freeing up 40 hours for my main project. It sucks being at someone else's mercy, but this might be a blessing.

I'm just frustrated with distractions, deadlines, and people not understanding the complexity of my builds.

Today I felt frustrated, disrespected, and annoyed by how fast someone else’s decision can impact my finances and workflow. But after the initial sting, I’m seeing it as a door opening instead of one closing. I’m still in control of what matters, even if I’m temporarily at the mercy of others. I'm just trying to stay focused, disciplined, and make sure I separate client work from my own project so I don’t feel like I’m constantly compromising.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Got hours cut by Trey, recalculated my income and expenses, reflected on financial independence, had a Zoom call with PT Dom team, got praised for clean systems, reviewed past work hours, planned to implement Dawson’s request, adjusted mindset on separating client and personal builds, and vented frustrations on the podcast.
