Just a quick lesson about priorities.
I was looking through my journal and found my timetable from a year ago.

I had all these dreams about financial freedom and stuff but I dedicated only one hour a day to business on days where I had nothing to do...

This time let me make progress on other things but not business haha.

Don't let that be you.
