Today’s agenda is pretty simple. After work, all I need to do is create some new Etsy inventory. I gathered a bunch of supplies over the last few days, so now it’s just a matter of putting everything together. One idea I’ve had for a while is something I think I can make once or … Read more
The last couple of days have been a nice reset. I finally got back into the gym on Wednesday, and right now I’m paying for it. The second day after a workout is always the worst. Everything hurts. It’s a good reminder that I’ve been away from it for too long, but at least I’m … Read more
Well, my birthday was last week, which also means my vehicle registration expired. No big deal, I thought. I’ll just renew it. Except I couldn’t. Apparently my car insurance was never renewed, which came as a complete surprise because nobody ever contacted me. No email. No phone call. Nothing. So now I have to wait … Read more
Yesterday ended up being a really productive day. The biggest thing was probably touring a daycare for my son. My wife and I both came away feeling really good about it, so we went ahead and enrolled him to start next month. It’s a strange feeling. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we brought … Read more

Today is Saturday, which means the week is officially over. Looking back on everything, I’m pretty sure I accomplished everything I set out to do, and I’m really proud of that. The only unexpected thing this week was getting a service call for one of my condos. The people living downstairs reported a leak and … Read more
I finally finished it. I’ve been talking about this eBay automation tool for weeks now, and honestly there were several points where I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to get it working the way I wanted. Every time I solved one problem, I seemed to create another one. I’d get an idea, build … Read more
I’ve been advised to exercise caution when using AI tools at work. In all honesty, the company has been very slow to adopt the technology. The firewall restrictions on the network make it difficult to use much beyond a basic chatbot, and most of the tools that could provide meaningful improvements are either unavailable or … Read more
This week marks a major milestone for me. The AI tool I’ve been developing to automate my eBay listings is finally complete. I wrapped it up around lunchtime today, and after stress-testing it, everything is running just as I’d hoped. Honestly, this is one of the biggest steps I’ve taken toward maximizing my productivity. And … Read more
