How was your quarter?

Just thought I'd pod5 my first thread to ask how everyone is doing. (Hope I've put it in the right place).

Mine, I hit my targets for my business idea:

1. I've found the people I need to build my product. We've specified what needs, doing in detail.

2. I've applied for a government grant for some cash to build it, don't know the outcome yet. (I was surprised we qualified, the application process has been straight forward)

Other targets:

Health:
Last year I strained my rotator cuff, been doing physio to help. Set it back by digging out an acer tree from in front of our conservatory and moving it. Not back to square 1 but it's going to take longer.

Wealth:
Mortgage is being paid down month by month. Moved jobs to something that fits me better, is lower stress, more flexible & better paid.

Happiness:
Actually felt really good this quarter, just keeping going and meeting my goals / expectations.
Time use- there's been a couple of weeks I've misallocated time. School holiday weeks are disruptive, as is the clock change. I overconsumed media about the tarrifs for a few days. Keeping to routines will reduce / eliminate this.

It would be great to hear how everyone else did in 1st quarter, and your plans for the next.
