Daily Journal — Day 33 (Tuesday)
Today was one of those days where planning, patience, and pressure all came together. Early Morning: Fasting & Discipline I woke up at 5:30 AM, had sehri, and waited for Fajr. After praying Fajr, I went back to sleep till 7:20 AM. I then freshened up, got ready, and left for classes. Classes ended at 11:30 AM. Work Begins: Focus Mode I reached work at 12:07 PM and started working on a client project. Worked till 12:50 PM, then had a 5-minute call with the client regarding a few urgent designs. I took the details and continued working. In between client work, I also posted my journal and set up a sheet for the outreach campaign. By 1:14 PM, the outreach setup was done, and I continued client work till 3:42 PM. Market Visit: Helping a Friend After work, I left for Saddar to buy a phone for a friend. Market research had already been done earlier through calls, so this time it was about finalizing the purchase. We selected a pink Google Pixel 7a, finalized the deal, and bought all necessary accessories. I returned around 5:00 PM. Evening: Work, Iftar & Traffic Test After coming back, I prayed Asr and submitted the designs with a few name changes. Then I went to the masjid for Maghrib, broke my fast, and returned to work. 🌙 Unfortunately, the entire area was stuck in heavy traffic, and since I was in the car, there was no option but to wait. After Maghrib, I had a session with a community member. We discussed building a community and also talked about dummy bidding, where I guided her in detail. Unexpected Moment on the Road Around 7:50 PM, things didn’t improve traffic-wise, so I decided to head home. Before going home, I stopped by my khala’s place to pick something up. What should’ve been a 5-minute route took 30 minutes. On the way, a car hit my car from behind. It was my first experience like this. I immediately braked, asked the driver to pull over, and parked my car as well. I called a friend, who estimated the damage at 4–5k. The other driver transferred 3k, and I decided to let it go better to avoid escalation than stress.
