Spent time dictating an explanation of what I had accomplished for two major previous clients and thinking about how such presentations should be structured.

Drafted a one pager #domy

Dragged my audio recording of my 1-minute description of what I got done for my client into Windows Clipchamp after procrastinating all day about starting on this. Baby steps.

Wrote draft of new case for my portfolio

Realized I was being too much of a perfectionist with my client-success videos so I recorded a quick-and-dirty version so I can start sending it out with my job applications: youtu.be/G951xqj3Tu0

Recorded a personnalised live video + summarized transcript with GPT for a prospect that reached me for consulting work. It feels authentic and should make me stand out from the crowd. Will save myself and the recruiter some time. I am keeping the script as it will be repeatable quite easily for future prospects.

Spent time watching and summarizing system design and engineering resume interviews

Went through my Google Tasks notes-to-myself of stuff it would be cool to make, turned my favorites into Jira projects, and removed them from Google Tasks. Next: pick one and try to come up with a summary of how an MVP could work. Removed links from WhatDo homepage for projects that don't exist (yet). Feeling super happy I set up Netlify / Dokku now that I can just push and have my changes immediately live. Spent time drafting an email to ask a YouTuber if I can do a video with him, I'm on the fence about whether I should do it.

Worked on a first draft of a 1-page "how to hire and manage remote workers" PDF that I want to start sending along with my resume and possibly also use as a marketing thing for my Wailes & Company remote work management consultancy idea...drank a double espresso ~4-5hrs before my expected bedtime, I hope I don't regret this...emailed another YouTuber but w/ a slightly different email approach...continuing to learn how to use Cursor, resolved a deploy.yml error by signing into GitHub after some Googling to understand what was going on...spent a while breaking up my backend code into sub-app directories as a way of setting the stage to work on multiple app ideas at the same time, and also to continue to build familiarity with Go since I'm still very new to it...spending the time after the caffeine high has kind of worn off (3hrs post-double-espresso) just thinking about what I should work on next...decide on some next small steps for tomorrow: 1) be able to query the Algolia HN API and get back the list of HN jobs, 2) set up a new db schema for the jobs app, 3) figure out how to best use ChatGPT to analyze the different job posts (individual queries vs. some kind of batch request).
