## General

### Self-awareness brings clarity

Haven't seen as much clarity in my life as I see nowadays. My personal development journey that started in January 2023 is continuing and I am starting to see fruits of work on myself. I wrote a new blog post in July which touches on the topic.

### Frogs in the morning

Frogs are a key ingredient to successful day. I couldn't imagine saying the following myself until I fully understood it in July: you have to be eating frogs first thing in the morning. I am adding 'eat the frog' component into my journal-based habit tracker to keep the streak going.

## Projects

### Juggling multiple balls

I've been working on a startup for the past year. I've been working on a side-hustle since the beginning of 2023 without any revenue. I've been working on Journal extension app that helps with capturing thoughts when away from paper journal. I can say I am currently in a lucky spot where I enjoy it all.
