I woke up on time this morning — 6:00 AM — and felt really happy about it. I’ve always believed that if you want to make big changes, you have to start with the smallest things.

I really enjoy the mornings. The streets are less crowded, just a bit of light traffic here and there. I usually walk about 1.5 km from the bus stop to my workplace every morning — it feels great. It’s good for my health and gives me a moment to enjoy the fresh air.

Maybe I’ll grab breakfast somewhere today — a good way to kick off the day with energy.

Today I got a new task: integrating an API to pull Print On Demand (POD) product data from a supplier into our system.

In e-commerce, I think products can generally be divided into two types:

• Regular products — for example, a t-shirt is just that specific t-shirt.

• POD products — a t-shirt can have various designs or prints added to it, creating multiple versions of the same base item.

The problem is, our current system doesn’t distinguish between these two types. So my task is to:

1. Identify whether a product is a POD item or a regular item.

2. Determine the correct product category, since the categories for POD and regular products are completely different.

In short, the task has two main parts. I plan to finish it in two days, plus one more day for testing and bug fixing — so three days in total.
