July - the month of planning

I'm not prone to writing monthly recaps or projects for what I'm doing the next month. Nevertheless, I am undertaking the 10X Unicorn Challenge starting tomorrow, and this means I'm stepping up my level of planning and tracking.

Notion is a pretty nifty tool, and I am less intimidated by it after seeing a demonstration. I was able to import the template that Daniel created, and I will use it as my daily tracker. The goal is to plan each day the night before.

At the top, there are indicators for level of motivation, hydration, and physical activity. Some of the properties are for checking off, others require definition.

Every night, I will plan for the next day by identifying the following:

• #1 priority
• Top 3 revenue-generating activities
• Strategic collaboration
• Daily content creation - Technically, writing every day satisfies this one, but I want this content to be business-related.

ChatGPT has been extremely helpful. I have access to the 10X Unicorn custom GPT, and today I created my personal custom GPT that I can connect and get extremely detailed and personalized suggestions. When in doubt, ask some guy named AI.

In January, I made a declaration to quit my job on or before 12/31/25. The year is half over, and frankly, I don't feel any closer to that goal. It's time to step it up.
