Things I’ve Done

[Creative_Name]

Now, I should probably keep at my work and not create a new thread, but I wanted to share some of the things I’ve learned this year. Maybe people have some fastlane-oriented insights and advice for a 22 year old.

I’ve done about a year’s worth of electrical work. 160+ recessed ceiling lights, hundreds of meters of copper cut, pulled, and stripped, and many, many switches and receptacles.
Many little things in my day-to-day are automatic and easy now.
And yes, I’ve made money on side jobs.

I’ve taken the things I’ve learned and built a little automatic diatom-growing thing in the basement as a challenge. I learned soldering and electronics for that too.

I got introduced to a coursera course on machine learning (deep learning specialization). Now I know how to make simple convolutional neural networks with techniques for faster learning and fine-tuning for specific use cases. I’ve only scratched the surface of this area of study, it goes much deeper.

I can apply shading to sketches of different things.

I sourced products that I could trust, designed the artistic assets for the brand image, got my first sale from someone in the UK, and uncovered many new things to learn, including web design, marketing, and conducting shipping tests.


My question is if I’m being too varied on what I’m learning. Maybe I should be focusing my efforts onto one thing? I feel like the sporadic entrepreneur hopping from one thing to another, but it’s not opportunity, it’s just stuff I want to learn all of a sudden.

I feel extra guilty of doing the Tiquel(?) shuffle because I’m getting a 3D printer and plotter cutter to create my own parts for the electric-related stuff I’m doing. I really do worry because my dad and my grandfather have a problem with just talking about their ideas with no execution.

That photograph of the skin care products is pretty bad, but I put it through an editor after.
