I went to the gym in the morning and worked out back and biceps. I grabbed my favorite protein shake and then I went next door to get breakfast at the Front Cafe. I ordered the avocado toast with two poached eggs and bacon. It was tasty, but the bacon was too thin and too crispy.
After breakfast, I headed back, got ready, and went to another cafe to work out of. I was planning to go to Cinta Cafe, but on the way, I saw another cafe called Oka’s Bakery and Cafe that looked like a good working space, so I stopped there instead. The area upstairs was perfect, but the food and cleanliness were questionable. I stayed out of convenience and ordered their veggies and iced Americano. Nothing special about it.
I caught up with Jeff over Facebook for a good 30 minutes or so. It was good to catch up. Afterward, I had a call with my sister to show her the stuff that I was working on and how it can apply to what she was planning to create for her church. The call was a bit choppy, and we suddenly got caught off, but I was able to convey to her what she needed.
I then tried working on MailChimp to get my autoresponder up and running for Network & Market, but I was running into a bunch of issues. Autoresponders are confusing and not very intuitive. The idea of segments, lists, groups, and tags are confusing and annoying to deal with. I was frustrated and had a hard time focusing. Today wasn’t a productive workday. I think I was dehydrated and frustrated being in Bali. I don’t like working in Bali. I’m ready to leave and be back in Bangkok. I’m also missing friends and family back home. I also miss my car. I miss Starbucks. I miss speaking to Americans. I miss the big spaces in America. I miss cleanliness. I miss A/C. I miss having my own space. I’m ready to go home.
I couldn’t get work done, so I went to get dinner at Koloni. The blackened Salmon salad with avocado was delicious. This seemed like a nice working space and it was indoors with A/C. I’d come back. The location is just a bit far.
I couldn’t focus today which was frustrating, but I just need to learn to unwind. I ended the night with a movie called Arrival. I’d give it a 6.8 rating. It kept me thinking, but it didn’t hit me emotionally. Fell flat. I’m calling it a night and hopefully, tomorrow will be a better working day.
