My Days on Leave

[soos_mite_ah]

I have decided to take a break from my corporate job for about 8 weeks as it was slowly eroding my mental health. I kind of want to keep track on what I have been up to during this time off and I'm going to use this space as a daily diary of sorts. I want to make sure I'm on track with my goals and that my days don't just blur together. My main insights and reflections are going to be in my main journal though.
