The Weekly Checkin – 5/10/2024

Second Issue

As another week comes to a close, another blog post is drafted from my desires to stay consistent, determined, and disciplined.

Of course it’s late, but I have set it in my mind to make sure I do this before I turn the lights out.

This week has been all about getting things done in preparation for our trip to DC next week. With quite a few projects coming due, there was quite a bit of production to move through. Very grateful for the new setup at the shop; it continues to prove that it was the right move. I did need to shift the machines down about 9 inches to accommodate the full sewing field (as realized when the machine pushed against the built-in shelf. Bonus: I can better access the side of the machine and change out threads easier and a better space to store the tables.

Same list of podcasts as last week. A common theme being that those who prove a strong work ethic and ambition are in a prime season against the low bar being set by the abundance of trend followers and those that strive to do the bear minimum (and are confused by or blame others for the results that are falling short of their perceived entitlements).

Power Book II: Ghost: Season 3 (STARZ) – I continue to really enjoy this series.

Organization and Work flow at the shop – Continuous progress but the decision to change the layout is proving to be the right move. Client feedback as also supported the new feel of the shop.
Exercise – Continued the plan and got to the gym on Tuesday; did not maje it on Thursday due to a need to be flexible to accommodate family goal priorities. Made it a point to get on the treadmill everyday.
Sleep – The improvement continues and the Oura trend is tracking positively.
Cold Showers – Decided to give it a try and have taken 3 cold showers. My idea is to take cold showers in the morning and see how it affects my energy. So far it’s been fine with little noticeable benefit…still testing.
Nutrition – We’ve officially been drinking AG1 every morning for a month and still loving it! Received the next month’s subscription today. Also ordered more travel packs for our up coming trips.

That’s all for now…..

Good night!
