Weekly roundup
Hellooooo!
What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
I saw this greeting on YouTube yesterday and couldn’t not use it!
I have been thinking a lot lately. Because I am not doing anything else. Reading has taken a backseat. I am not hosting challenges/content brunch sessions; work is more or less on autopilot now. But I feel the spark is missing! I finally made peace with the fact and then got to thinking, you don;t have to sit tight if you lost your spark.
Go find a new one!
So that’s what will do in Q2!
Work life
What have I been up to this week?

Goals
Find your Spark
Like the last 2 months, I couldn’t check off my goals for this month either. I was trying to force something that is no longer my energy.
I want stability. I want to focus on bigger and better problems in life. This journey was supposed to be an aid to a more fulfilling life, and I made it life itself.
Which worked great, and propelled me with the right energy in the right direction. But what next?
We find a new spark.
Something that motivates the creator within me, while also satisfying the hunger of ‘doing something’.
Few things on top of my head:
Take a 30-day art challenge
Build a few AI automations so it frees up my time (while I also upskill)
Build an app (i have been wanting to since last year) and scale it.
I have been in execution mode for the past 2 years. This year, I slowly shifted to strategy plus execution mode. By the end of the year, I was in 100% entrepreneur mode. Will spend the next 3 quarters experimenting, learning, failing, buidling and re-doing all of it over again!
But before that here are Q2 goals!
In case you missed it
My Q2 Goals
I hate myself for not clearly stating Q1 goals and hence not following through. I won’t set monthly goals for Q2 and see if it helps. Here are a few ideas on top of my mind
Watch an IPL match LIVE (RCB to be specific)
Move out
Build MCP of the app ( i feel i need it too now)
take 1 (no work) trip
Automate work with AI (what work, not sure. But I’ll find work that takes a lot of my time and work on automating it)
Update my website
Take a note and keep me accountable, will you?

Last week, I announced this new format and got a couple of appreciative replies saying it helps them focus on sections that matter to them!
That’s it for this week.
