The rest of the day was consumed by building an overly complex leads and sales tracker, grappling with scalability, data tracking, and future-proofing. Overwhelm set in as the project ballooned, prompting thoughts about hiring help, breaking it into levels, or simplifying without losing potential value.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I woke up late, got hit with a barrage of issues, and spent way too long proving the problem was someone not clicking sort. That set the tone for a day that was mentally draining. The tracker project spiraled into a beast, and now I can’t ignore the bigger possibilities, even though they’re overwhelming. I’m frustrated, but I know this complexity is exactly what makes it valuable. I just need to decide if I should simplify now or go all in and figure out scaling later.

What I Did Today - Summarized by AI

Woke up late, troubleshooted Trey's team’s client list issue, confirmed it was user error, improved some system automations, worked on leads and sales tracker, brainstormed scalability and future-proofing, explored simplifying formulas, mind-mapped workflow in FigJam, planned potential project levels, and ended the day exhausted but with a clearer picture of what’s needed.
