## Summary

It's a bit demotivating how I'm half way through the challenge, and my MRR is only at 20% of my target. On the other hand, these last two weeks I spent less time Indie Hacking, and prioritised client work. Now that I've got that out of the way, I hope I can pick up the pace in this last half of the challenge.

I'd love your input – what should I focus on to hit my target?
