The Modern Day Caveman

Day 18 marked a full week since my birthday, and honestly, it’s flown by!

Today was a Saturday and for the first few hours of the morning I was pretty productive.

I caught up on my journalling, walked to ‘The Mountain Ahead’ and even did a bit of overtime to get ahead on sales outreach for next week – something I don’t think I’ve ever done before on a Saturday morning!

The rest of the day was a bit of a chilled one, spending some quality time with my parents, watching football, drinking beer, and playing with remote control cars! If you’re wondering where I get my ‘big kid’ side from, my dad’s definitely to blame.

At weekends, I often feel guilty for not working on my side projects or being productive, but as time goes on, I’m learning to allow myself time to do things that are good for my mental health and soul, rather than constantly putting myself down.
