Business Insights from Sleepless Nights

There are points and shapes. And yet the shapes cannot represent the points of which they are composed of. That is the illusion I suppose. We can not envision our own authentic self as we truly are.

Sometimes the writing flows so well I forget to add the date. There is something empowering when you can't sleep to get up and write. Or work on a house project. Or finish something.

So I want to think about how to do this next business. From a tax perspective as long as I use my personal name I can write things off as a sole proprietorship. With the apps that could be a very good deal and allow for some fun travel for work related education and conferences. I do need to get on top of the business tracking side of things as there have been expenses and write-offs I'd like to categorize under the business. If I can achieve some ad revenue in 2025 Q1 that would be a huge success and push in the right direction. [redacted] Even with all this work it will be effort to turn the business into success and generate real revenue. But it is highly possible and there is a lot of trash out there.

What I'm really wondering is why are these notebook journal pages curling. As I'm writing they are curling inward. Is it the ink or the dry temperature? Or I do believe the ink may have something to do with it.

Think about identifying the things you all value[?] which are of utmost importance in living and feeling it is a good life and incorporating that into writing. But then again careful not to bring in rules or thought structures to free writing. It is fine and should be part of your disciplined practice to generate content for the business and as a creative outlet but one focused and with parameters. This freewriting may serve as both writing practice and working to tap into the raw brain stuff with as little processing as possible to capture a stream. Because writing is a higher level to create and communicate with that makes it a wonderful tool for interacting with the mind in an artistic manner and the language and lettering become the wave and board as our author writes another sunset surfing.

So AI says it is both the pressure and ink and the thin paper. If situation is a real problem might just need slightly heavier paper. But I do love the size and simplicity of a full page where I can ride the rows[?] like they were incoming waves and not even notice how my pen makes its way down the page. That is an interesting way of writing and capturing and also requires a certain level of meditation[?] and relaxed body and breathing to sustain the effort and keep the connection flowing. A few sneezes and I am easily off track.

In both thinking of my life and also creating through writing the experience itself becomes cathartic and part of the entire process. There is no reason these journals could not be used as practice for a business that is generating content. If that content is also used and published in a timely manner how useful would that be. What might I want to write about when it pertains to focused writing? What are the areas that are distinctly different. Well there is personal, correspondence, business and work.

From a financial health perspective you have to picture things also much like a system of income and expenses which when put through categorization create budgets which can then be quantified, targeted and selected for focus or adjustment. For the income portion it should be noted the income generated by investments and benefits of say a business and its income on taxes. What this means is the broken down paycheck tells a more elaborate story of income and should be visualized in a budget. At what point is a budget useful and when is too much, too much? You can flex the budget in different ways to shine a lot[?] on whatever is needed but also when it feels that something isn't going into a category and feeling right it could be time to consider another category.

I'm not sure how many pages I've written or hours I've sat here writing but both the time, effort and outcome feel high value and for some reason everything in life becomes more valuable than work, but it does take discipline and 5 pages is a sizable amount of text and a good body of work. A signifier of activity in the mind and the acknowledgement of time passing through the recording of events. Tool for capturing conscious and some subconscious thought particularly when writing at odd hours. It is good to work on handwriting consistency, breath steadiness and body relaxation to get a quality sample of the most raw brain flow stuff as you or I really just drift along the ocean of consciousness and see what we occasionally drift into the vastness of existence. Words are such a joy to work with, the palette of the writer being the choice and order of the words to convey whatever content there so desires.

Now that we have reached 5 am that is a much more normal time to be up but hey not bad to have written 5 pages over the last two sleepless hours. Not sure why I'm sleepless. I kept tossing and turning and then my nose was stuffy and then runny and the sneezes. My body feels a tad tired from writing. It is a long time to do such a practice and at the end of today does feel a bit like doing marathon training although it mostly has just been reflections on an active time and exercise in development and structured way to have a thought outlet. There are still quite a few topics I didn't get too, and I don't believe I ever got to where I wanted about the directed writing and will have to come back to that another session.

So let's say I've now gotten my freewriting time in and want to think about how to use my writing time wisely, what would the recommendation be? Well if the business is important generating original content can be really important much like other areas you can bring a unique voice to whatever you work on and might as well just document the process of work and even life if you wish, no reason to limit yourself in that regard. For work the same advice is still pretty good. Document your process both thought and work to benefit others whether as [redacted]. Ah stroking my ego can feel so comforting but only through hard work and constant effort on delivery can I truly be satisfied, and when it comes to writing that means material delivered the fresher the better and on-time or ahead.

To have a reason to want original and quality writing is it is as much a art form as a way of recording communications through language. There can also be beauty in the way words are strung together that only an author may know just how to do to create their unique voice to share with. Yes that is interesting, when not journaling you have to think about such things. I think that is why I mostly find joy in my freewriting because you have to think so much otherwise.

The day flies past into the week until it is washed up by the mouth and [?] where did that vacation time go, can't slip away so quick with times endless trek, relentless, regular, ever present. And yet is it, or is it merely the fact we measure it [?]
