Comments
- I think I found a product hunter but am waiting for them to post. Might be another week or two.
- I did think a little bit about new monetization strategies and spent a small amount of time looking at affiliate printing links. Not much to show for it yet though.
- Victor’s Recipes is up! It’s a tribute to my dad’s amazing Chinese cooking and a project we’re going to continue working on together while I’m home.
- Started a new short freelancing engagement with the University of Washington.
- Woot.
Time
Here was my planned allocation:
| Project | Time | ~Hours / Week |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome Extension | 10% | 4 |
| Place Cards | 10% | 4 |
| Writing | 10% | 4 |
| Django | 0% | 0 |
| Make / Ship Stuff | 10% | 4 |
| Generate Revenue | 10% | 4 |
| Family | 50% | 20 |
And here’s the actuals:
Week 18 time breakdown
Overall ended up with the anticipated 50/50 work/family split, but within work I focused heavily on side projects and forgot to plan for a day spent at Dimagi that ate a lot of my non-family time.
Next week I’m hoping to be about 80% “working” and 20% off, and focusing most of that time on place cards and freelancing.
Life
