Happy Independence Day everyone ๐๐
This last week was one of those weeks where I didnโt do any of habit yet it was very productive and got real work done.
Personal Highlights
But just because I had a productive week doesnโt mean it was my ideal week.
Yes, I was happy. Yes, I was motivated.
But I didnโt do any of my habits and it makes me kinda sad๐คง
It did not make me sad throughout the week though but now that I think about it, I feel like I should have done.
For most people it is fine to work day and night on something and not worry about habits and stuff and I think its even perceived as being much more cool but I donโt see it that way๐ค
Not that I am against working all day, I am not and neither am I an advocate for work life balance but I still think atleast working out along with some other basic habits should be done regularly ๐ฅถ
Business Updates
Talking about work, I did a lot of things this week related to octalancer, for one I decided to change our course and focus on content creation for the next few weeks before we start approaching clients.
And this decision wasnโt very random but wasnโt very thought out either it was just a part of branding the business properly so that we could be more confident during sales.
Other than that I also brought in a bunch of new people with solid portfolio so that we can showcase everything nicely on our site.
Thereโs a lot of site building to be done before we can confidently approach clients I just hope others are as confident as me about this new strategy.
It doesnโt matter if the strategy sucks what matters is we put in the efforts and learn new skills ๐คง since everyone is young and new to this world.
Thoughts from the past week
Here is this weekโs episode on motivation and I just realised that I donโt exactly know the source of my motivation this week, maybe it was the tutorial that I was watching and I mustโve felt inspired from Michael jandaโs freelance journey smh ๐ค

Movies ๐ฅ
Probably the worst movie that I have seen in a while.
It was like hollywoodโs race 3 but worse because they tried making it funny โ
Also I think this was the worst F&F movie idk I wacthed the last movie back in 2015 before I had any sense of judging movie but still it felt wack so idk if this one is the worse
But I loved every single instance of john cenaโs presence on the screen๐ฅฐ #jabrafan

Quote(s) from the week๐
โHappiness is simply the absence of desireโฆIt arrives when you have no urge to feel differently. Happiness is the state you enter when you no longer want to change your state.โ
