A steady and rising July

July and August every year are the times when I am less efficient. It may be related to the weather, or it may be because I am on vacation and am particularly lazy. Thinking about this time last year, I was still in a bad mood in the early stages of pregnancy. In the blink of an eye, the baby is more than six months old. I didn’t set too many goals for myself this month. I focused on leisure and taking care of my children. I continued to maintain a sense of balance in all aspects of life and made steady progress slowly.

Work:

This month is the first month of summer vacation. I only have one and a half days on the 25th and 26th to participate in advanced educational technology training, and I have a lot of homework left. I have no time for the rest of the time. at work.

Family life:

Dabao continues to attend summer classes in kindergarten. This is his third month in kindergarten. The teacher praised him for eating and sleeping well, and he also learned a few Tang poems. He San Zi Jing made rapid progress and taught some friends in kindergarten, but he also learned some swear words. The more we tried to control him, the more enthusiastic he became. His early education teacher said that he had a lot of little emotions and movements during this period. It may be that he has reached an emotional sensitive period and has a great need for independence. So I also need to balance between letting him go through more experiences and establishing rules. Grasp the right amount to help him get through the sensitive period smoothly.

Dabao gets out of school at 4:30 every day, and then I take him until dinner time at 6:30. During this period, I basically take him to the library, park, or KFC, thinking of ways to do it every day Change the tricks and think about how to save money.

Erbao started to switch to the second-stage milk powder and chose a French brand purchased by a French cousin. A 950-gram can costs 210 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective. In addition, I started adding rice noodles and egg yolks, and I got used to it well. Now he can lie down for a long time. Sometimes his limbs will lift off the ground and he will just lie on his belly. He looks very cute. He has also begun to recognize people. He will be particularly anxious when he sees his mother missing, and will giggle when he sees her again. Maybe it's because he's teething, and he often wakes up during the night, so the adults are also very tired.

My husband started his children’s English training in our second-hand house. After two days of promotion, there were five or six children who tried it, and two children purchased the course. It was also a brand new experience and beginning.

My cousin, who has lived abroad for three years, brought her nephew back to China to visit her relatives. We got together three times and ate dumplings with my uncle’s two children. The five children had a great time. I bought one before we left. A schoolbag for my little nephew. My cousin invited me to taste red wine at her house and sell French red wine with her. I agreed. It will be a good open source project once it is completed.

Personal development:

I completed the "Learning Writing Course" and gave up the advanced course on new media writing because I felt that pursuing hot topics was not the direction I wanted to write.

After reading "The Pyramid Principle", complete a note.

How Mocha can make your expression more organized and logical, I recommend you read this book

I am reading "Principles" and have completed one-fifth of it.

Body:

I accidentally lost a tooth while eating before I became pregnant. After a long wait, I finally Got a dental crown this month.

I took two personal training classes and practiced at home the rest of the time, but I felt that the effect was not good and I always wanted to be lazy, so I decided to go to the gym or continue personal training.

I had a fever for one day in the second week of this month, and it was transmitted to Dabao and Dabao. Fortunately, they are still strong. Dabao recovered in two days, and Xiaobao recovered in a week.

This should be the second financial management platform this year after Simu Yuhan recommended me to join Yanwei last time. I am so happy. , getting closer and closer to my dream! Of course, this is just the beginning, more efforts and persistence will be needed in the future!

At the end of the month, I established a study check-in group and insisted on studying and checking in for 21 days.

Financial management:

This month’s expenses are finally under control, more than 4,000. At the same time, I also realized that setting a budget is still very effective in restraining impulsive consumption.

The two convertible bonds I bought this month all broke and were not sold on the same day. Later, one was sold at a loss of 35, and the other one is still at a loss of 50. It seems that you still have to be careful when purchasing convertible bonds.

This month’s miscellaneous financial management income is 364 yuan.

Entertainment:

***Watched four movies.

"The God of Medicine" four stars

"The Deadly Metro" five stars

"One Thousand and One Nights Part 1" four stars

On the whole, July still maintained the original pace of life, and was not too affected by the weather and mood. Give yourself a thumbs up Bar! But when summing up, I also found that a lot of time was actually wasted, so in August I will continue to strengthen the use of time and find a balance between not exhausting myself and completing what I want to do.

August plan:
