Comments

  1. I think I found a product hunter but am waiting for them to post. Might be another week or two.
  2. I did think a little bit about new monetization strategies and spent a small amount of time looking at affiliate printing links. Not much to show for it yet though.
  3. Victor’s Recipes is up! It’s a tribute to my dad’s amazing Chinese cooking and a project we’re going to continue working on together while I’m home.
  4. Started a new short freelancing engagement with the University of Washington.
  5. Woot.

Time

Here was my planned allocation:

Project Time ~Hours / Week
Chrome Extension 10% 4
Place Cards 10% 4
Writing 10% 4
Django 0% 0
Make / Ship Stuff 10% 4
Generate Revenue 10% 4
Family 50% 20

And here’s the actuals:

Week 18 time breakdown

Week 18 time breakdown

Overall ended up with the anticipated 50/50 work/family split, but within work I focused heavily on side projects and forgot to plan for a day spent at Dimagi that ate a lot of my non-family time.

Next week I’m hoping to be about 80% “working” and 20% off, and focusing most of that time on place cards and freelancing.
