(Late email this week cuz I was busy + waiting for the month to end to finish my monthly recap!)
Every month I feel like I wasted my time…it goes so fast and I accomplished “nothing.”
But is that really true? Did I really accomplish nothing all month?
So I have to vibe check myself with these monthly reflections…
First up: quantitative data.
Time spent
In March 2026, I spent most of my time with:
Friends / family (my sis came to visit)
My business
My partner
These reflect my priorities and values, so I’m pretty happy with it.
For reference, in 2025 (last year) this is where I spent most of my time:
Happiness ratings
In Feb 2026, my avg happiness rating was 7.96.
In Mar 2026, my avg happiness rating was 8.17 - a 2.6% increase.
At first glance, I think March’s happiness ratings are higher because I spent more time with friends…so I took a look at my journal entries for the qualitative data.
Qualitative data: wins
Both Feb and March had amazing wins.
What’s interesting is that I had more wins listed in Feb,
But March’s happiness scores were higher.
When I reflected on why, it’s because the wins in March were more related to challenge - one of my core values.
Here’s what I mean.
Feb’s wins were typically:
Had fun doing something normal (badminton, hosting events or hanging out with people)
Had a good experience (Valentine’s, my bday)
Keeping up with my habits (meditation, meetings with creators I’m coaching, reading, learning quantum mechanics)
Trying something new (made a 3 day reset challenge, learned piano scales)
Looking back, Feb’s theme was very much focused on my value of fun - doing things I enjoy.
March’s wins were typically:
Facing a fear: trying something new, scary, but very enjoyable. I felt proud after (martial arts, triathlon, finished 75 Hard challenge)
More social (hosted a protein powder party, Barbie movie night, bringing people together for a fun night out, meeting a new friend at a cafe)
Less time with screens (travelled with my sister)
More fulfilling (helping other creators make sales, someone made like $3k I was so proud)
Compared to Feb, March was more challenging - I pushed myself to do things that scared me. I almost bailed on the triathlon bc I had to wake up at 4am…but it was one of the most memorable moments I had this year.
The feeling of pride and fulfillment I had in March was way higher than in Feb.
How the month felt
It’s so easy for me to focus on the negatives:
Views are down
I feel insecure creating and promoting coaching offers
I feel like I’m falling behind - I paid so much money for coaching programs but didn’t really put in the work in any of them
I’m scared to create new content about business rather than just productivity
I feel like I can’t charge money
I don’t want to disappoint my audience
So initially, before doing these reflections to vibe check myself, I felt discouraged.
“March was a failure - another month I spent focused on having fun and traveling instead of making more money with my business.”
Those were the thoughts I had…
But now, sharing these reflections with you, I see that I felt fulfilled in many other areas of my life.
It’s not always about comparing myself to other creators and how much money they’re making.
Everyone’s on their own journey.
Choosing to prioritize having fun with my loved ones is okay.
Instead of feeling defeated because my schedule is too chaotic,
I can choose to feel grateful I have the flexibility to do what I want, when I want.
(I’m traveling again this month bc my friend is giving birth and I’m dogsitting for her - so I’m glad I built a life where I can go wherever I want and can be there for people I love.)
So the next time you feel the urge to say you did “nothing” this month…
Challenge yourself to think about 1 thing you’re grateful for instead 🫶
How was today's email?
Til next time,
