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!
