Went right into a call straight after starting my morning this way. Went alright!
I have some build outs today to get through!
Day 20

Crazy to think I’ve been documenting what set up my day for 20 days!
20 days in, it feels nice to have some little wins to kick start my day
A few more days until I get back into ‘work mode’
How’d you start your day?
I knew this would happen. Bought @PsyduckSteph a Steam Deck for Christmas and even though I have the Aya Neo I just had to get one.
I’ve been eyeing them off since they got released but they took their sweet time to get to Aus
Very very happy
A new console and a new game Palworld! Not exactly “cosy” but still! I tried out this game when it was first release but dropped off after a while. So now with my new steam deck a replay with the new content is a must! So far really enjoying!
#Palworld#steamdeck#cozygaming
Todays fun! A new cosy hobby cart for all my fun new things I’ve gotten over the past month and a fun colouring in page to start off today!

How’d you start your day?
Post Christmas Entertainment! Absolutely loving branching out into some fun hobbies found this cute set from Kmart afew weeks ago and couldn’t wait to try it out! Definitely won’t be killing these ones 🤣

Christmas was great, 0 work done. Does not mean I didn't think about it though. Stepping away from the desk has given me some time to think about my SaaS mvp. I love the idea so much, I am already using it every day. That's validation enough right?
You'll likely see a few wrap up posts from me this week. This year was huge. This year was something else. When someone asks me where I started, it's an interesting question.
The idea of Gonzcat was born in 2011. Now, 13 years later in 2024 it clicked, and I am doing the thing I only dreamed about each and every day!
Why 2024, what happened? Honestly it was @kylepdotco and his Freelance Fam Cohort. I do not know where I saw it, likely twitter, but I applied, got in and joined the discord.
Over 8 weeks we went through:
- making websites fast
- design layouts for websites
- creating a portfolio website
- pricing your services
- getting clients
- onboarding and managing clients
- outsourcing
- scaling and working less
I could not make the live sessions as Aussie timezone isn't too great for me but I would be sure to watch the recordings as soon as they went up.
In week 3 of the cohort I submitted my idea which was asyncodyssey.com, web dev for marketing agencies. @bradhussey and Kyle reviewed it on the live call, and when I saw my website come up as one to be reviewed, I felt sick. No lie. My partner told me to watch it and take what was said as feedback, and wow. Once I got myself through watching it, I was so chuffed. Areas to work on but on the right track!
That's all I needed, that's where white labelling what I love was born.
Thank you Kyle and the Freelance Fam community. I had the skills, I just needed the confidence to go out and start trying. I needed someone to tell me to get off my butt and chase what I was after and that is exactly what the Cohort did for me.
@MonfangOCE Keep the structure but definitely take some time off to reflect and relax and recharge for the new year! Doesn’t always have to be a blur, give the time a structure and a plan and keep yourself on track you will keep goals aligned coming into the new time 🥳
'Working' during the holidays. Do I keep up this new found momentum or take a break? In Australia it's holiday season. From now until January 6 time is like a blur, you don't know what day it is... it's a lot of eating, relaxing and soaking up the sun.
I am in two minds about it.
Day 8
- shower
- flo
not as many dominos knocked down today, but still found one to kick start my day. shower will forever be an easy one
what's one small thing that gets you going for the day?
My newest and coziest hobby yet!! I have recently really enjoyed some fun colouring in with some fun @cocowyo colouring in books! Cozy Christmas is currently my fan favourite! This is my newest project!
@MonfangOCE It’s always the best start to the morning when we get to eat breakfast together! Even if it only 15minutes always sets my day up for success!!
Day 5 of holding myself accountable and starting my day off with a couple of wins
- walk
- shower
- flo
- breakfast
@PsyduckSteph is on holidays now until the end of the year, so wooo no dishes for me this morning. I also really enjoyed actually eating breakfast yesterday.
