WFH Thursday. Yet again. And early pay day too. Much needed considering our expenses are about to shoot up – more rent, new car payment, house refurb, baby proofing, etc etc.
Anyway, all fun and games.
Watched most of the UK election coverage yesterday. I mean, I’ve never been political but I can see how it makes for great telly. No wonder people are so vociferous about this kinda stuff. More riveting tv for the rest of the week at least. I might even cast my first ever vote. Wow.
Have a head of organization to do today. Need to update our personal finance tracker, strategise a full summer plan pre-baby arrival, come up with a content plan for a book, reading, blogs, think about ossifying the side hustle.
Oh and before all that, figure out how to bring my best self to work. Recent chats with senior management haven’t been great, and I need to reset expectations and plow ahead. So good they can’t ignore. It’s gonna take a lot of grit and sacrifice, but what else do I have to do.
Which brings me to my daily reminder from today: stop before doing anything, ask myself if it’s going to be cognitively painful, recognise that fear, and knock it out of the park anyway. Basically, do the hardest thing I can.
On that note – laters!
