This Week in Business 10/26/25-11/1/25
I am maintaining a steady pace on this work. I am not getting overly ahead but I am just in maintenance mode. Over the last week, I have been heavily involved in shopping for other goals in my life. I have been researching for the best trip possible to Canada. I have researched hard for LIFE goals and the main reason why I started this venture has been slipping away. Affordable living for people to live full lives. To be able to afford vacations, to be able to not say no as many times. This is just something I have started to get away from, that I need to get back to. Evolving the venture has been at a standstill as well, I just haven’t been good at advancing. I do just barely enough to keep the monkey off my back of falling behind.
Two weeks ago, was one of my highest weeks in a few months getting close to five hours worked. This still is not enough as I am not pushing it.
Last week, I finally hit my goal of at least five hours. A little over six hours worked has me feeling strong going into this week. When I first started, I wanted to work ten hours a week. With school, work responsibilities, new home maintenance, new dog arriving, and just so many life changes have had me on the ropes as my motivation gets poured in other directions. With that being said, I have dropped the amount of time I would like to spend on the venture. I can’t believe I started this consistent journey almost seven months ago. It feels a lot longer.
Since the creation, I have strayed from what I created this blog, and everything for. The goal for this week is to shift my content and blogs back to where it started and where I feel the most excited about. Affordable travel.
On top of shifting my focus back to where it started, I have to fill up my reserves soon. I have done great with juggling schoolwork and working at least two weeks ahead. When I do that, I want to be able to study a little bit along, but I end up usually taking a break for two weeks and then cramming for three days to get close to a passable grade.
A huge wall stands before me though in my mind. I need to make at least fifteen tiktoks. That should always be the amount in drafts so I can have the flexibility to work on other projects.
Unfortunately, I can’t stand here today saying that I did the fifteen tiktoks. I just need to break through that barrier.
A week of learning but a week of not enough time. Dropping from 5 hours quick.
The total for the week was about three and a half hours. The largest chunk coming from the end of the week. The beginning of the week was focused on research for other goals in life. Also, a lot of this time was spent on hold, working through all of the room changes I needed to make.
