Being Thankful and Going Crazy at the same time. I cannot grasp the disciplines.
I'm starting this thread in the first week of 2025. Three years of struggle has put me in a spot of advantage. But now that I'm in that spot of advantage, I can't seem to take advantage of the time to make it more beneficial.
I think it's because I don't have a strong support group (other than here on 7-cups). And also, being 65 is slowing me down a bit when I still need to be going full steam.
The biggest deterrent to me is my brain going 9000 miles an hour about all the things that I wanna do and wanna get done. I simply exhaust myself. I have done so many things in the past three years to stay on track and push past obstacles and hardships that it's getting monotonous to keep trying and I wish I had the money that I could just stop and relax. But I can't, not even close! I may deserve a break but I am not entitled to a break. Bummer, right?
I have no choice but go strategically crazy for 2025.
If I do it right, I may set myself up with some residual income.

At the end of 2024, medical problems, very bad weather and the holidays deterred me from earning any income. Because I'm self-employed, finding work is my own responsibility and I can say I was blessed and fortunate enough find employment through the weeks 2 - 6.
Keeping my personals and house in a clean and orderly manner takes a lot of effort for me. I call these my Core Balance Chores (CBC). I was able to maintain these with acceptable results.
Physical therapy (PT) is another important obligation. I did well with PT for weeks 2-6.
In addition to these repetitive obligations, I also did well with some vehicle maintenance, some home improvements (Primarily... Storage building reorginzation) and overall forward momentum for my business, along with fair income to repair some of the debt I was facing from lack of work previously.
(P.S. I also think I'm doing well keeping track of my "Did Wells" 😁)
