To Do: Overcoming Tech Troubles A Week in My Creative Business Life

The week kicked off with a series of unexpected technical issues. My phone began to fail, shutting off after only a minute of use. Simultaneously, a malfunctioning video card on my laptop made it so I couldn't do any video editing.

But I got a new phone and fixed my video card issue. So this week I go over what tasks I completed from last week and take a look at the tasks I have to do for my online creative ventures this week.
