@aporia9n blessed to have lived a few myself

[Aporia @aporia9n]

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.

A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.

The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.

And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.

It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

@Loveandlogic31 @oledoteth Azule, Splendour, Monopoly Deal, Lost Cities, Blokus, Jaipur, Hive, Rummikub, 7 Wonders Duel, Patchwork… LOTS haha.

I’ve also been designing my own game the last 6 months so I try to print a new version every Friday that we play test over the weekend.

@stijnnoorman Aligning dopamine hits with crossing things off the to-do list is the best mental programming you can do.

[Adam @AdamKyleWilson]

@oledoteth This is 100% true.

@bentossell Good ROI if the activity happens more than 8 times 🫡

@signulll Imagine distilling the joy in life to a conversion rate. Straight road to internal emptiness.

@unrootdesign Craftsmanship & consideration.

@MasculinePillar @dickiebush There’s more to existence than grind.
Self discovery is an essential step to self mastery. Otherwise you’ll only master what others tell you.

[Adam @AdamKyleWilson]

@dickiebush From someone who has done a lot of both: That’s not true.

There’s lots to learn about your inner self that sitting at a desk and grinding will never teach you.

SKINNER makes an Arc’teryx style jacket that makes you invisible to mass surveillance simply by wearing it.
