Top 3 notes:


New clients(s)

I picked up 1 new client this week, and collaborated on a proposal with another. This means next month I can cover all my bills + some. No more relying on my savings, which is nice. 


I haven’t yet asked for permission from my existing or new clients to blog about the work openly. But I know I’ll start getting mentioned in socials soon. Maybe I should start typing internal, client facing week notes? I like that idea 🙂 Have scheduled it for next week.

I currently take 72mg of prolonged release Methylphenidate. I take the whole dose in the morning when I wake up and it helps me focus throughout the day. It does a pretty good job and has certainly helped me this week.
