Weekly Update 10/28/21 – Plans

Welcome back to another weekly update!  This week, I focused a lot on plans.

A Struggle From This Week

I had several plans for this week, but they all changed one by one.  First of all, I had signed up for a costume contest for Saturday that got canceled.  Then I was going to hang out with my boyfriend on Tuesday, but I wasn’t feeling well.  On Wednesday, my aunt and I had planned to have dinner together and arrange a playdate for our birds, but my sister got sick, so I had to stay home.  Today, I’m not feeling well again so I have to miss rehearsal for theater.

So many plans and now they’re all gone!  It was hard to deal with every time – I had devoted so much of my time and thought into these events and now they weren’t going to happen.  Now I had four gaping holes in my schedule.  What was I supposed to do?

Well, the good news was that I had a ton more free time to do what I wanted and that I could fill that space with activities that would meet my goals and help me with my plans further down the road!

A Win From This Week

Focusing on future plans was a big plus when my present ones were cancelled.  It allowed me to get back into seeking new opportunities and providing for myself, which is great!

This week, I sought to make more passive income.  I read some articles and watched some videos to get ideas of what I could do.  The things I started setting up were a Shopify store, a YouTube channel for compilations, and accounts on survey websites.  Now, I’m not endorsing any of these – just trying them out – but hopefully they can earn me at least a little bit of cash that I can use towards furthering my goals.  In the next few years, I’m looking to pay off my student debt and purchase a house, so any amount is a step forward.  Now is the time to try things, and as long as I have a safety net, I’m good to go!
