While I did get quite a bit done, by the end of the week I was pretty burnt out. So I decided to change my schedule up a bit in order to avoid burnout over the long haul.

Catching yourself before you burn out is important for everyone, I'd encourage neurodivergent folks to be especially cautious. But that's a topic for another blog post...today, we're talking about what I worked on this past week.

I decided to push all of my client work to the beginning of the week, so that I could have uninterrupted time on Friday and Saturday to concentrate on things that require more focus. And whaddayaknow, it worked! My clients had plenty of work for me to do early in the week, so I hit it hard.

I did do a little bit of work in the evenings during the week; particularly design-type work, as that feels more like play to me than figuring out new systems and such.

Specifically, after conferring with the brain trust over in Sage Grayson's Skool group, I added copyright and branding information to all of the Core 5 pages that I have created so far. That took me a couple of evenings. I also messed around with my LinkTree a bit more, and I don't recall what all else.

I got down to serious business on Friday. The biggest chunk of time was spent putting the finishing touches on all of my welcome sequence emails, which included creating an entire page on my website. I also may or may not have rewritten them several times in the process... Yeah, perfectionism can eat up a lot of time if you let it!

I also put finishing touches on all my freebies for my first funnel, and again, I wanted to work and rework them, but I'm trying very hard to keep the mantra of "done is better than perfect" in mind.

Then I finished drafting the specifics about each page in the Core 5 System, so that I could use them to create the course...and finished up by making great strides on putting together the course slides. As with everything, they aren't perfected, but I'm moving closer and closer to having an actual digital product to sell beyond a few planner pages.

Writing it out here, it really doesn't look like a lot. And I'm sure lots of folks could've just punched a few prompts into an AI and called it a day. But I've put so much blood, sweat, and tears into developing my system, I believe it needs to reflect ME through and through.

No AI could ever capture my peculiar sense of humor or any of the strangeness I've been through to make sure this system works over the long haul. To say nothing of the nitpickiness born of my years of editing experience when it comes to using exactly the right words to express my ideas. But at the end of the day, creating something I can be proud of is way more important to me than tossing off lots of products that are indistinguishable from all the others flooding the market in the age of AI.
