A long while back I wrote about what I normally do to keep myself occupied.
Not that my routine is SUPER important, or that it should cause you to change yours, it's just a way to motivate myself, especially when things get a little bit crazy...
How are they crazy?
Well, sometimes clients will ask for something that takes a while to prepare sooner than I am able, and most of the time I just let them know 2 hours is needed for the entire process.
I just started a few new baked goods, no bake cookies and butter cookies.
Two great and relatively easy treats that bring some new folks.
I digress...
Normally, I wake around 4 to 4:30 am, prep and then bake the bread needed for the day.
While that is going, I start my faucets, around 5 am, and get what I can before baking the next 2 loaves.
As time permits, I play a few crypto games, (always for crypto, never for just playing a game) and now as of this past Wednesday, I prep the butter cookies, then let those cool in the fridge, then start the no bake cookies.
The cookies take about 45 minutes to get made and though I didn't think I would have time at first, I made some time by doing some crypto faucets later in the day.
Once those are complete, I get the first 2 loaves out of the pan and packaged up, ready to send off, and take the other 2 loaves out to cool.
After this, I cut the butter cookies and start the quick 18 minute timer, and do some more faucets.
By now it's around 7:30 am, and once 8 rolls around, I will have the cookies baked, cooled, (about 10 minutes) and packaged up along with the 4 loaves of zucchini X2/carrot/cinnamon bread.
I quickly head to the bus stop, and take the #16 to the spot in downtown where a lady sells everything for me.
Upon returning, I grab the remaining packaged cookies, (no-bake, and butter) and take them a few blocks away where a neighbor sells them.
Once I get back, I quickly make any orders that have come up on my WhatsApp for the day, and if there aren't any, I clean up, and get ready to write articles for crypto, (like here) and do more faucets.
This and doing certain chores for the day last until 2:30.
I then go to the downtown spot first, pick up what didn't sell, pay the worker, and return to the other lady to do the same.
What didn't sell gets placed in the freezer immediately, and saved for the next day.
Then I head back to doing the daily tasks, faucets, and chores.
Why did I add cookies?
There have been a few clients who asked what types of baked goods I make and if I would consider cookies, and really, I wasn't interested in it.
Since several asked, it only made sense to listen.
As of late, I have sold several dozen cookies, and keep selling the bread like normal, and even though it takes about another hour to get those done, it really isn't that much extra trouble.
I just moved two daily tasks to around 10 am, after cleaning up...not a big move, and I actually have a few more minutes to complete some other crypto tasks.
So this is my day now, and yes it is really an early day, and lasts really for 6 to 7 hours, but its nice and quiet.
Thanks for reading, and let me know your thoughts in the comments below...????
