Hello again!

I feel like it’s only been a week since the last update. Oh how time flies. 🪁

This month, I’ve taken a side-quest and started working on a problem I’ve had as a parent.

I noticed that it’s difficult to find child-care centers in Vancouver. Some issues:

  • There’s a general lack of information online via search
  • Some centers don’t have websites and aren’t even on Google Maps 📍
  • Fraser Health’s website is hard to navigate

So I’ve been developing a web app to find day-care centers around Vancouver.

Unfortunately progress has been slow with daddy duties and a short fight with the cold. But I’m hopeful to deploy an MVP soon! 🤞

Updates 📘

  • Started working on project to easily find daycares near you
    • Targetting an initial release next month for feedback

Lessons 📝

  • I read Four-Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals ⏱️ and recommend it for anyone who:
    1. Constantly feels there’s not enough time in a day, or
    2. Keeps procrastinating and aren’t sure what to do with their time
  • Main takeaways for me were:
    • The universe does not care what you do with your time. So stop over-analyzing and start
    • You are always settling. Make an irreversible choice instead of “keeping your options open”
    • Reconsider cramming your days. Accept that you cannot do everything. Prioritize what is important

On My Mind 💡

I don’t have much to show for this month in terms of projects, but am trying to remember that slow and steady progress leads the way. 🐢

Asks 🙇

  • Know anyone who is looking for childcare? Would love to ask them what would make the process easier!
