This is a short list of what I’m focusing on currently, inspired by Derek Sivers, whom I was introduced to by Thomas Frank.
Do or do not. There is no try.

Current Status
I’m currently living in Dubai, trying my best to expand my business while keeping the heat at bay, and focusing on a few priorities while growing another human being.
Personal Life
- Staying on top of physical health
- Trying to work out a few times a week and maintain my current weight (I’ve been warned not to put on more than 10 kg total during this pregnancy, 4 months in, I’ve only put on 2kg, so far, not so bad)
- Working on improving my duties as a Muslim human, to God, myself, my family, and everyone around me.
Work Life
- I’ve tried everything under the sun to be consistent, but it doesn’t work. I may have ADHD, so I’ve decided to work in sprints of two weeks of crazy focus, one week off focus for the next quarter, in which I *have* to make 90K AED, or I may as well call it a day and shut down everything to do with my business.
- Sprint one: 15K in 2 weeks, promoting various offers
- Restart podcast and non-LI social media content
- Team building workshop
Personal Projects
- Book of Languages Project with Makkah
- Read to Makkah 20 minutes a day
- Get a library membership
- Restart blogging
- Write two chapters in Story of My Life
- Declutter my entire life: home, laptop, phone, stuff in Algeria
