I took some time to look back at previous retrospectives, and I enjoyed doing these monthly recaps. I did feel like they were very static and data-oriented. This month I wanted to add more personal notes about how things are going. Not just around Projekt19 but in general about all aspects of my life.

What Went Well
🚀 Living the Fit Life: Officially launched this to you guys! If you haven’t read about it, check it out here. This month we invited a big guest and hit some significant milestones mentioned above. This podcast is full steam ahead, looking forward to spinning up more episodes this summer. Please give us a listen, share, review, spread the word!
📸 Upping my Insta game: I’ve got myself a little challenge with a friend to hit 1000 followers on the gram. Shout out to Coach ADJ on the road to 1000. I’ve been doubling down this past month, starting to create more structured content.
⛳ Golf Season: As you can see above, I’m an avid golfer! Golf season in Canada is upon us, and I couldn’t be happier. If you follow me on Instagram, you will read more about my golf journey and goals.
What Did Not Go well
😫 Burn out: Hit the gas pedal a little stiff this past month. A few minor episodes (blurry vision, leading to migraines) turn out poor sleep, dehydration, and screen time all came together at once. I’m often pretty quick to solve my health;
Back on the Whoop train, I took time off after using it for the majority of 2019-2020 (more to come about that soon).
Have a new mattress
Finally, have prescription glasses for computer time
Upping my water game (I drank a lot of water before, now it’s ridiculous - I may as well be a fish)
😵 Took on a client project: Not all that bad, but it reminded me why I am not interested in doing client work. I can be a little pickier at this point in my career, and this just reinforced that. I’m open to doing client work, but I’m gonna make sure I have the right mindset and fit before jumping back in.
Suggestions
Get outside, take a break from the keyboard grind! I’ve needed more offline time in this past month to really give myself a better sense of focus and direction.
