Weekly update #10 - Weekly progress update

Well I just got through writing this thing and accidentally closed the browser tab 🤦 .

Anyway - I've had a good week. I'm pressing on with the how to guide / blog for online design tools. I've enjoyed building the site, which I'm doing differently than this one, using Wordpress. WP is a familiar platform for writers if I get others to write, and purchasers if it even comes down to that! Just need to focus on making that first $1 now though!

I've mostly got it in a state where I can push it live. I've been calling it "Designjoy" as a working title, but I'll need to buy a domain before I properly launch it. I'd also like to have a handful of posts on there as well.

So that will be my focus, figuring out the structure I want these posts to be, based on looking at competition and basically checking out what similar sites ranking highly on google are doing. + getting stuck into writing!

I've got a list of posts to write that I've jotted down as ideas come to my head, things like "how to download a single asset in canva" as I've been doing things in canva for building the blog. I like how that is working out.

I've joined the r/canva community on reddit and have started a few posts there trying to get ideas of what things people are struggling with. I think that will be a great resource for me in this project.

Life habits

Really happy with how I've cut down my casual drinking the last couple of weeks. Drinking a couple of glasses of wine or beers a night is a very very easy habit to slip into and a very hard one for me to get out of! Will try to keep up making it a more occasional thing. I need to watch out with not working on my computer too late, I always end up with a bad sleep and then I'm pretty useless the next day. I know this and I still do it 🥲.
