Week 2 (May 12th - May 19th)
Key Milestones:
Passed the 10,000 Word mark
First Fight Scene displaying World’s Mechanics in Place
Word Count:13060 (Previous week: 4359)
Lessons Learned:
Consistency is king. Protecting my time is essential. As a solo entrepreneur writing a book but also someone who wants to be a decent roommate, I need to set boundaries and plan to protect my time from people wanting to ‘hang out’ / ‘talk’ during the day when I am in the middle of deep work. Phone goes on Focus mode. no interruptions
Punches to the Face:
No real punches to the face this week. Small test of resilience during a moment of “holy crap I have a long way to go”, reframed as “Look how far I have come already. I’m grateful I get to take this journey.”Onwards Friends! Signed, Dave Ogles
