Week 21 - Why it's good to do nothing 😝

Last 2 weeks, I did absolutely nothing! 😲 I mean for building my freelance business 😁

And just by re-reading those 2 sentences, I understand how BS it is.

Yes, I didn’t open my laptop (even though I took it with me) and LinkedIn (here is the proof 👇)

And yes, I’ve spent the amazing few weeks with my family, discovering new places, learning about new cultures, tasting different food, sunbathing, meeting new animals, seeing new plants, sniffing new aromas, calming and organizing my thoughts, learned about Joachim and Caroline Murat who shared birthday (25 March of 1767 and 1782, respectively), and even being able to read 2 books - Animal Farm by George Orwell and Skip the Line by James Altucher 🤓

Still, my brain was constantly working, and I’ve got:

• 3 ideas for T-shirts (will share with you later, need to create them 😏)

• an idea to do a monthly Q&A for all things community on LinkedIn live

• an idea to write the Community for Dummies book (and trust me, it’s hard 😲)

• one more daily task - write down 5 ideas about smth (empowered by James Altucher’s book)

• an idea on how to revive previous clients for the client I’m currently working with

• a great series of posts for freelancers (based on “Love is” series 😉)

Even though I didn’t put extra thought into what to do next and how to do it, ideas kept coming, and all I did was just write them down.

And actually, it felt nice not acting right away, kinda letting them brew 😏

Usually, I feel like a rocket ship with an eternal fuel inside that just flies forward to the moon and stars, but having 2 weeks actually to land on some planet and look around was a very good experience, that definitely not stopping me on my journey, but kinda shows me a bigger view on what’s going on and why I’m doing what I’m doing.

And I don’t know yet if I really learned this lesson, still, I feel like I need to repeat it more from time to time to get a better feeling of it 😁
