Week 16

⚙️ Work Pattern

10 working days out of 15

4 workdays --- 1 reset day

3 days went into recovery (eye + neck issues)

🤦🏼‍♀️ External Rewards (will work on removing)

Cold drinks + pastries

Then I wanted more refreshing resets, so I placed a small ice-cold tub in another room to dip my feet. lol

There’s also an AC in office room, but I don’t know where the remote is. I was thinking of finding it. I felt that AC would normalize the temperature, and now switching from normal temperature to the ice-cold tub feels really really good. I’ll see Ac later when I understand its value.lol

💥 3-Day Recovery Phase

Long screen hours without protection (blue light glasses) --- eye irritation

Woke up with a stiff neck. I don’t know how I slept, but I pulled a neck muscle. I decided to stay in bed, and on other days I did some household work.

⚠️ Struggles

As soon as it’s Maghrib, my eyes start to close, and if I sleep late, it becomes hard to wake up for Fajr.

🛠 Worked On

Edits

150 articles posted (just bcz to gather analytics by the end of the month)

🌟 Signs It’s a Growth Season

Lately, when I sleep, I dream about editing timelines.

When I’m awake, I constantly think about specific Adobe After Effects tutorials to grasp.

I consistently crave to work, and sitting feels uncomfortable.

Also decided to daily journal from now on.

🎯 Decisions + Outreach

I’ve decided not to do outreach for now and continue working at the agency while improving my animations and edits. I’m preparing for better opportunities through job listings of editors, e.g saif ... from the courses I took.

I’ve also decided to remain focused on editing. I don’t want to leave this path and risk losing what I’ve learned or letting my effort go to waste.

📌 Takeaways

Many low-ticket clients ❌

Improving animation = better opportunities = stronger personal brand edits = long-term benefit

🚀 Goals for This Season

Upgrade to an ideal editing setup (current setup is good, but can be improved)

Invest in a few high-value courses

Build a personal brand through content

Grow a website with daily posts (1/day)

Long-term goal: Amazon affiliate
