646. Little Bit of Work, Last Day

Recorded on: Monday, July 26, 2025, IDK PM

Episode Summary by AI

I had about five or six hours to work today while Lexi got her hair done and we later spent time with her family. I made real progress on my system but realized I keep falling into the trap of trying to make it perfect. I decided it's better to ship the working version now and improve it later. No business texts came in, and I didn’t get paid by Mina yet, though Trey paid me yesterday.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I'm tired but proud of the progress I made. I feel caught between wanting to build the best possible version of my system and needing to ship something functional now. It’s frustrating seeing ways to improve it after already building so much, but I’m learning to be okay with imperfection. There's still a little bit of irritation with how others handle payments or communication, but I’m brushing it off. I’m ready to get some sleep.
