Day 25: Refinements, Realizations, and Recharge

Day 25 has been a mix of discovery, action, and a little fun, which is the kind of balance we all need sometimes. Here’s the rundown:

Big Moves in the Shop
The category formerly known as “Icons Collection” has been renamed to Dogs. Clearer, simpler, and way more aligned with what it actually is. (Who doesn’t love dogs?!) It’s a small change, but these tiny tweaks are the foundation of a smoother shopping experience.
On the tech side, navigation got some love with refinements that make finding products easier, but I’ve realized there’s more to do. Filtering and sorting functionality still feels like a puzzle I need to solve—one step at a time.

Speaking of puzzles, the weekend ahead is a big one! The plan is to finalize uploads for puzzles, long-sleeve shirts, mugs, pillows, and blankets. These are some of my favorite additions to the shop, and I can’t wait to see them live. Also on the radar: Cyber Weekend planning. (Is it even November if you’re not thinking about sales strategies?)

Personal Growth Moments
Two realizations hit me today:

1. I don’t know how to build a proper marketing funnel.
2. I really need to figure out how to.

This is one of those humbling “you don’t know what you don’t know” moments, but that’s what growth is all about. Time to dive into some learning and lean on resources.

Life Outside Work
After all that, I squeezed in some real-life connection and fun: a walk, time with a friend, and an improv show that left me laughing. Sometimes, stepping away from the to-do list is exactly what you need to refresh your creativity and energy.

Looking Ahead
There’s still a lot to do, but it feels good to know I’m making progress—one rename, refinement, and realization at a time.
