I\u2019m not exhausted but I am tired from working 40 hours in 4 days. I\u2019m not really used to this so I need a recovery day. Concentration continues to be very difficult. I found myself whiling away the hours mindlessly on social media at work yesterday. It wasn\u2019t the most productive day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d like to get some work done tomorrow morning so I will do that. Time is going by fast and I don\u2019t want a window of opportunity to close. I need at least a minimal launch of my website. I\u2019m finding myself stuck in perfection being the enemy of progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to at least get more organized about the process. Geesh! Here I am in a stuck state. I want to be kinder to myself. I\u2019m so hard on myself that it is a progress blocker. My therapist would advise me to engage in some self praise; find the good inside and bring it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today will be a self-care day. I will catch up on sleep and be ready for a productive morning tomorrow. I just realized that I have a discussion tool that I can use to \u201cvibe out\u201d a website design. I don\u2019t really need AI to help me code out a website. I need help with the design. I know I\u2019m getting into uncharted waters. This is where AI could help me flesh out things like layouts, color palettes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trouble is that AI doesn\u2019t feel natural to me yet. I have to think about how I can utilize the tool to achieve some results. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need a day of rest today.
