Day 23: Building on the Foundation — 180 Days to Grow My Portfolio Career

Recovery Day

After the 3-hour travel delay yesterday and a full office day today, my energy was solely focused on getting my work done to a normal level of acceptable-ness (is that a word?) in my 9–5.

The morning started later than usual because I canceled my workout to grab a few extra, much-needed hours of sleep. The day was spent in meetings, handling some admin tasks (like creating logs for data sources), and reviewing social media content. Pretty normal day in the office.

Once I got home, I had some social media posts to tidy up for Find A Biz Africa and my personal brand. I’m also testing out a new social media tool to drive engagement. I’ll let you know my thoughts once I’ve had some time to really dig into it.

Lesson Learned

Today reminded me of the importance of flexibility, especially when things don’t go according to plan. Whether it’s canceling a workout to catch up on rest or shifting priorities at work, adjusting without guilt can be key to staying productive and maintaining balance. Recovery is just as important as the hustle.
