My Goals for 2022
for our startup, newsletter, and more!
We are Hua and Wenting. We are building our saas app, Typogram, in public. In this blog, we share design resources for founders and stories about building our company!
Routine Upgrade
I'm ashamed to say that I have been too much of a night owl. Since the pandemic's beginning, my sleep and work schedule have been entirely wacky. It has been disrupted for a year now. more and more, I realize the correspondence between rest and focus.
Reselling & Managing my personal things
This year I want to get back into selling stuff on eBay. I am especially interested in reselling because I have accumulated a lot of stuff that I don't use over the years. I'm not trying to make a huge profit off this side hustle, but hoping I can generate a small side income, $20 - 50 per month, just for fun.
