2021-08-23 – Day 33 – Launch Ugly – 9 Days to Launch


Activity and Status

This evening I notice that my day number and days to launch have gotten badly out of synch. So I created a spreadsheet for date, days til and day of, and then update all of my BTS page titles to have the same format. Learn that I had lost 10 days in there somewhere. I’m left feeling conflicted with where I put the time.

As a side note, spreadsheets are your friend for simple everyday tracking of stuff you want to do. I might sometime put together a video and a blog entry of the 3 – 5 tools I routinely build in spreadsheets to keep track of my progress in my various projects.

Talked with my Mom

Talked with my wife

Spent 5 minutes looking for yesterday’s notes that had to be in evernote or google docs.

Nope, they were in yesterday’s BTS entry.

Now back to study.

1 hour later – Discover that I have a REALLY niche subject, there are 75 queries a day, on average for “devops”

1 more hour later – This is the perfect subject for me to experiment on. The subject has a very small search volume and I can do this as a niche labor of love while I figure out the process.

Got some coaching from Tirrell on what questions my blog needs to answer – kind of challenging.

There is no “kind of” the questions are very challenging.

Which makes them good questions.

My eyes are doing weird thing, and I have 2 solid hours of study and prep work done, so I’m feeling good about today.
