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:
- Constantly feels there’s not enough time in a day, or
- 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!
