Work on yourself, and work for yourself, every day, so you can sleep better at night!

Check out my newsletter for resources on how to do this.

Quit going after the "easy" money and work on the things that matter.

I love the simplicity of that website! Nice!
Having trouble finding the time to create online and build a presence?

Try these:

1. Don’t worry what it looks like. You can play the beginner card for a while.
2. Don’t try to do all the things from the start. Start on one platform.
3. Do it playfully on a pace you can keep up. Have fun!
Working on yourself, and working for yourself, helps you to sleep better at night.

Something I don’t do enough of, though?

Recognize when I’m tired.

To sleep better at night, you need to sleep at night! 🤣

See you tomorrow
Working for myself during my 5-to-9 helps me to sleep better at night.

I do these kinds of things:

- Post articles on my blog / Medium
- Post notes here
- List items on eBay
- Publish #YouTube videos

I rediscovered speech-to-text tonight.

It worked on Windows 10 in limited capacity.

Much less friction on Windows 11, though!

Looking for a boost in creative #productivity here!
Improve your content creation efficiency by:

- Finding a good-enough method
- Repeating it
- Adding pieces gradually

Parts of editing/uploading videos are now muscle memory. It became that way after dozens of times.

Looking forward to hundreds of times.
Usually trash talk is for competitive sports, trying to throw others off of their game.

I ran A/B tests on YouTube thumbnails on 5 videos for two weeks.

The result? Nothing. All tests inconclusive.

At first I was like “bruh really” but I’m glad that YouTube isn’t being suspect!

I just need to put them on more popular videos next time 🤣 #youtube
Tried something a bit different with my YouTube video today:

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴.

We had to put down one of our two dogs today, so including Taffy was a must. Things can go downhill quickly and you never know when.

Here’s a crazy thing to happen in 2025.

I’m getting real comments on my WordPress blog.

Like, two in a matter of weeks!

Both of them absolutely got responses from me. I’m not making that mistake again.

For fun, here’s one article that got a comment: mightybargainhunter.com/six-hacks-ge...

My Google Photos history of late has been less than inspiring.

A lot are reminders of:

- becoming a heavy drinker during the pandemic
- taking pictures for insurance purposes
- snapping pics of my family when they’re leaving on a trip without me
- dogs right before we put them down

Let’s start fi

Yeah I've stepped up my Publer use, plan to do more in 2025!
Thanks Kathy, always great hopping on the calls with you!
Regularly escaping to Doomscroll Land isn't the road to success.

Start fighting for yourself to get on a better track!

Make a conscious decision to do something—anything!—that pushes your work or yourself in the right direction.

Literally anything is better than nothing, and you'll have accomplished something.

From the article:

"Learning how to set money goals is more about developing a lifestyle around financial improvement than it is a specific time of year."

It's the same with other forms of self improvement.

A stranger paid for my Chipotle bowl tonight.

Don't know why this nearly brought me to tears, but here we are.

If you don't have a body of work that you can truly call your own, then I have some good news for you.
