Sunday Reflection | The Week I Did Not Hit But Still Counted

It is Sunday evening and everything finally slowed down.

The orders
The notifications
The pressure to keep moving

For the first time all week I have space to actually think.

I am looking at the number.

$747.36

And my first reaction is simple.

That is not my goal.

My goal was clear all week.
$1000 minimum
Plus at least $200 in adjustments

That is the standard I am trying to build.
That is the level where things start to feel like real progress.

And I did not hit it.

The Effort Was There

That is what makes this hit differently.

Because I know I showed up.

This was not a lazy week.
This was not a distracted week.

I worked every day.

23 hours and 47 minutes active
38 batches completed

I moved every single day.

Monday came out strong at $128
Tuesday pushed higher at $147
Wednesday dropped to $66
Thursday tried to recover at $85
Friday held at $82
Saturday carried everything at $184
Sunday slowed down to $53

I can feel the week just by reading that.

The Market Was Off

What stood out the most was not just my numbers.

It was what I kept hearing.

I talked to other shoppers in the same parking lots.
I saw the same faces waiting longer than usual.

And everyone kept saying the same thing.

It is slow

Nobody said it was a good week
Nobody said batches were flowing

Everyone was chasing the same limited orders

That hit me.

Because it told me something important.

This was not just me having a bad week.

This was the environment.

The Mental Side I Do Not Track

The numbers show what I made.

They do not show what it felt like.

They do not show me refreshing the screen
Looking at low paying batches
Deciding if I should take something just to stay moving

They do not show me sitting in the car thinking

Do I wait or do I go

That back and forth adds up.

Not in my body.

In my mind.

I Stayed Efficient

Even with everything being slow there is something I cannot ignore.

I stayed efficient.

$747 in about 24 active hours

That is still around $31 per active hour.

That tells me something real.

My system is working
My decision making is working
My experience is working

The only thing missing was volume.

That is a very different problem than not knowing what I am doing.

The Gap Is Real

I am not going to lie to myself.

To hit $1200 including adjustments

I needed more.

More active hours
Or more high quality batches

This week did not give me that.

Not because I did not try

Because the opportunities were not there.

And I have to be honest about that.

Saturday Showed Me The Truth

Saturday was the one day that stood out.

$184

That showed me what is possible when the demand is there.

Same me
Same car
Same strategy

Different environment

That is the difference.

Sunday Hits Different

Sunday is always where everything slows down.

Lower earnings
Lower energy
More thinking

This is where my mind starts going.

I start asking myself

Should I have stayed out longer
Should I have pushed harder
Should I have taken worse batches

But I know that is not the move.

Because chasing bad orders kills everything I built.

What I Actually Did Right

I stayed consistent.

I did not chase trash orders
I did not destroy my hourly rate
I did not quit mid week

I kept showing up.

Even when it felt slow
Even when it felt off

That matters more than I want to admit.

Reset Going Into Next Week

I am not reacting emotionally.

I am adjusting.

I need more active hours during peak times
I need to stay locked into high value batches
I need to avoid wasting time during slow windows

That is the move.

Not working harder

Working smarter with timing.

Closing Thought

I did not hit my goal this week.

But I proved something to myself.

I can stay disciplined even when the market is slow.

That is the real test.

Because when things pick up again

I will already be in position.

I am not starting over.

I am already in motion.

And next week

I am going again
