02 Share what you accomplished yesterday.

03 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.

04 Comment on at least one fellow hacker's progress and give them an IH Point for their check in.

Optional:

05 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.

Then tune in the tomorrow to share how you did on your own tasks!

    No update from me today or tomorrow. Been a super busy 10 days, so I've told my clients today and tomorrow are filled with some personal things that prevent me from working. Luckily they were receptive. So my only responsibility is to finish out the week at the day gig and rest up before I establish an actual reasonable routine starting Monday.

    Cheers IH!

      Awesome, I'm sure being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel must feel great!

    Yesterday: Map my evergreen launch process from start to finish for Mane Moguls.

    Kudos: @jpusateri. Wait. Yesterday was your last day with a main gig?

      No, I may have mispoke. Friday is my last day so I'm winding down all that work.
