Episode Summary by AI

I reviewed my hours with clients to see how much I could cut back and still afford life as my full-time job ends. I’m frustrated with the lack of time for my own project, which has grown into a polished, high-value Notion system I plan to sell for $10K. I’m committed to perfecting it rather than rushing. I discussed client communication, scheduling conflicts, productivity preferences, late-night work habits, college dropout reflections, gaming with my brother, moving preparations, and decluttering.
