[@imellie8929]

For example. I wake up 5 o' clock and go to work. I finish work 2 pm... I have to come back home, clean a little bit kitchen, eat something and get some rest, because i am tired. It lasts about 2 hours. So it is 4pm. Then i have to learn because I still study. Time for learning depends on week. And I have to find time for shower and supper, at 10pm I go to bed, because I have to sleep at least 7 hours. I don't have time for daily TO-DO list. I think that kind of stuff are for people who dont have work...

I have one client I consistently do work with but I want to expand, be more creative and do the things I wish to accomplish but I'm having a hard time. My sleep schedule and routine are awful, I get distracted easily and 2020 really took a toll on my mental state. This video was very eye opening and I am going to implement what you've talked about. It's hard with money and equipment, plus comparing to everyone who seems so much more successful than myself. But I need to push so I can get there. Thank you for the inspiration!
