Journal

For my poa, I tried to set out an easy-to-follow and achievable timeline for myself. I took a break over the weekend to rejuvenate mostly because I was sick all week and I really needed the rest. But I think it was a smart move. I haven’t made any progress on my venture yet because I took time for myself which I have been learning to prioritize lately. I know I will be able to do a good job on this project this quarter so I feel okay about starting a smidge later.

To stay accountable since it is just myself, I will check it weekly to make sure I am following it close enough and I am on track to meet deadlines. I may even have my roommates help keep me accountable by doing homework with them.

Overall I feel good about VP2. I like the concept of just learning about my customer instead of immediately trying to come up with a product while also trying to learn about my customer. But, I am a little confused about how to approach my target market. I think my customer/group of people are very spread out and don’t necessarily have a huge community. A big challenge for me will be finding people to interview. I feel good about my plan to get there though!

I think the space we were in was super cool. I like the idea of having a place strictly for collaboration and networking. I drive by that building all the time, so it was cool to finally go inside. I don’t think I can afford a membership there but hopefully, I can use her as a resource anyway.

This weekend I spent time at home and in a hammock with my friends. I feel like I have been doing things nonstop. Plan after trip, after outing after hike blah blah blah. It was nice to just relax and recharge. I hope everyone can take some time to do the same!
