Day 816 - Blank calendar - https://golifelog.com/posts/blank-calendar-1679885714127
I had no idea how much I enjoy a blank calendar till recently.
I've been so busy with consulting. I mean, it's feeding the fam. I appreciate that. But ever since working from home, I've come to enjoy that routine and stability. I don't mind an occasional meeting, a networking coffee once every month or so, but I'm a happy camper if I get my routine 90% of the time.
I might have previously committed to saying that consulting will be part of my portfolio, to diversify risks and be more resilient. But man does it feel great to be able to work on my indie products day in, day out. It's like getting into the flow, only that it's over weeks and months of immersion. I remember how it felt like during the COVID years when consulting went dry and I was just working that way on my products for months. Probably most of the year. It felt like hypnosis, a nice kind. A dedication and focus that's nice to get lost in.
It's pragmatic to keep consulting in my portfolio. But I don't feel for it as much as my indie products. It's not pragmatic to just live off my indie products. But man do I feel so much more excited working on my current projects and thinking about new projects.
Pragmatic vs aspirational.
What moves money vs what moves me.
Hard choices.
