Leaving Work at Work – The Blessing of Balance and Building - 2025 - Week 35 Update
|
Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been reflecting on how incredible it is to work at WinCo, where I can truly leave work at work. Punching out after my night shift means the job stays behind—no emails piling up, no late-night stress. It’s given me precious time to pour into my side hustle and blog, and honestly, it’s been a huge blessing. In a world where hustle culture often blurs the lines, this setup lets me recharge and focus on what lights me up outside of the store. I’m getting better at managing my sleep schedule around the nights—strategic naps and routines are key—and it’s paying off. I’ve been knocking out more for my handyman side hustle, which is awesome. Fixing up homes, solving problems for clients—it’s hands-on and rewarding. Right now, the handyman work funds the blog, keeping the content flowing without dipping into other pockets. My goal? Get the blog to a point where it funds itself through sponsorships or partnerships, and even adds value back to the handyman biz—like sharing tips on home projects or marketing strategies. It’s all interconnected, building toward long-term financial stability for myself and those I love. No more living paycheck to paycheck; this is about creating a secure foundation while chasing dreams. On a fun personal note, this week I met a girl who seems genuinely interested in being part of what I’m building. Before she even knew about my blog or goals, she mentioned wanting to create content with me—talk about romantic! I’ve always dreamed of a significant other I could build a business with, alongside a deep relationship. Someone to brainstorm ideas, collaborate on projects, and share the adventure. It’ll be exciting to see how this unfolds—who knows what’s next? Life’s full of surprises, and I’m here for it. Things are aligning in ways I couldn’t have planned, and it’s a reminder that balance fuels progress. Life is what you make it, and right now, I’m making mine purposeful and full of potential. Here’s my challenge for you this week: think about one area in your life where you could create more balance—maybe leaving work at work or carving out time for a passion project. Take one small step toward it, like setting a boundary or scheduling dedicated time. Hit reply and share what you’re trying—I’d love to hear and encourage you! With gratitude and excitement, Justin

Journal Entry: This week has been a game-changer for me, thanks to diving headfirst into time blocking. I’ve started using it for my entire life—not just work, but everything from family time to side hustles—and I’m feeling incredibly productive because of it. It’s like I’ve unlocked a new level of focus. I realized time blocking is exactly like budgeting in finance: if you don’t have a plan for where your money goes, it just disappears. The same goes for time—our most valuable asset. Without...
Journal Entry: This week has been excellent, and I feel like I’m really getting honed in on explaining and launching America’s Holding Company. I’ve started writing my blog directly about the mission I’m on and what I’m trying to accomplish—laying it all out there to inspire and invite others in. I’m starting to really use my voice to drive change, working on getting people to participate in that change, whether through ownership, action, or just engaging with the ideas. I feel very blessed...
Journal Entry: It’s been a week since my last update, and I owe you an honest explanation: I’ve been sidelined by intense pain in the wake of the public assassination of Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace. It hit me harder than I could have imagined—a gut punch that left me reeling, questioning everything. In the quiet aftermath, staring at the void his loss carved out, I saw my own life reflected back: how small I’ve been playing the game, how I’ve let a victim mentality creep in and hold me...
