I began May feeling overwhelmed. 12 active projects at Waking Dreams Media.
I’d never managed so many at once before. It seemed like an endless list of logistics to complete before projects hit deadlines.
Today, everything is on track and we’re in great shape to develop more pipeline and increase capacity before the end of the year.
– Thanks to Ronan Murphy‘s increased help.
– Derek Hollingdale‘s advice to always eliminate everything but the most crucial task to destress.
This is my May 2025 in Review.

๐ป Realising I need to do it all again next month. I need to systemise some of the randomness that led to a great month. I need to generate business for H2. And build more capacity.
๐ป Figuring out the best use of my time as a founder. Importantly, shifting from “how can I do this?” to “who can help me do this?”
Is there something you can help me with? Do you have a solution to my challenges? I’m completely open to your suggestions and sales pitches (just make them relevant ๐).
I’ve worked for 16 months to get to where I am today. For that, I’m proud.
