I feel like I am neither being efficient nor making good use of my free time. I want to spend some serious time on Friday and Saturday at the library. I\u2019m most effective when at the library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really want to start Uber soon. It\u2019s going to be my gateway on the path towards better things. I just wish I was not afraid, fearful, and full of doubt. It seems like each time I make the rental reservation, I end up canceling because of this fear, uncertainty, and doubt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the upshot, I started working with a new therapist that I already feel comfortable working with. She\u2019s very kind and understands autism because her older brother is on the spectrum. I think she may know how to treat me effectively. I would like to be able to see her twice a week but I don\u2019t know if I can afford to do this just yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought for the longest time that I would prefer a male therapist being a guy myself. Turns out I was wrong and prefer having a woman. I feel hopeful that she will be able to help me. I need a self-esteem and self-confidence boost. I find myself looking forward to my next appointment on Tuesday, March 3rd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think after a week or two of doing Uber, I might build some comfort level. I\u2019m nervous around strangers. I want to give this a shot to see how viable it really will be. If I can average $26 per hour or around 0.85 to 0.90 per mile, I might just do okay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have some goals that I want to run by my therapist and I hope she will not placate me. I want her honest truth. I can take disappointing news and I accept the honesty of it. I don\u2019t want to be falsely filled with hope. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I need to carve out more free time so that I can work, in earnest, on my business.
