What I Actually Executed
I touched on EVERYTHING!! With Task #1, I mustered up the courage and just SENT the messages. For Task #2, I only got to 3 jobs on the spready but they were real quality. I dusted off 2 email convos (they were literally folks that popped into my head). With Task 4 I applied to 3 jobs then I only reached out to.
Results/Updates
I’m excited that one of the people from the projects I found hit me back and invited me to a tour of their site. I think this may be something I incorporate more into my strategy. I want to be where the action is!
♫ I wanna be where the people are!
I get to see a project live AND connect with people. Since I didn't even mention job hunting, it feels like less pressure. I was literally led by my curiosity. I don’t feel like I had to sell myself here. I can just take it all in. Even though I got “less” done today. It feels like it was more quality stuff.
Reflection
Today I started the day late since I literally went to bed at 4 am. I also met up with a friend today so it took away from some job hunting time. But tbh, I needed social interaction. I still feel accomplished.
The job market didn't feel like the usual swarming mass of nonsense today. I came into the day with a better mindset. Maybe that’s why I took more breaks today. I’m not a dang robot , so I can’t be out here just staring at my computer burning my poor eyes all day.
I’m getting to a point where I’m seeing this time as more than just getting a job. I’m building discipline and consistency. I’m gonna be READY for that next job. I’m actually excited at the idea of seeing what happens when I create a plan and stick to it. I’ve never seen what’s on the other side of discipline and NOW I will.
Wow, nothing like being tangled in job hunting to push me into my Disciplined Girl Era.
