District 001

Building a digital city for independent communities.
One identity. Many Palaces.
District 001 — the first experiment.

@Nora_Achab it's like that nose and mouth are familiar to me

Sunday post.

I’ve never shared one of my biggest passions on social media before.

I build my own watches.

Nothing extraordinary. No brand, no business, nothing to sell.

I just enjoy choosing the parts, putting everything together and working with something that requires patience and calm.

Most of my week is screens, work, projects and notifications.

This is one of the ways I slow everything down.

Sometimes a watch is better when it just tells you the time.

Saw this desk today and thought it would be perfect for the little office I want to create upstairs in my shop.

The funny part is that I can’t spend all day up there building projects.

There’s still a physical business downstairs that needs me 😂
Maybe one day I’ll find the right balance.

@sofiarpavlidou that coffee is too long for me 🤣

[District 001 @District_001]

@doja_dan My religion doesn't allow me to build on Sunday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sunday reminder:
No work today.
No coding.
No projects.

Building something you believe in is important, but so is knowing when to disconnect.

Spend time with your family. Enjoy your hobbies. Go outside. Do absolutely nothing if you want.
The work will still be there tomorrow.
Sometimes stopping is part of moving forward.

@petergyang Maybe the winning product isn’t the one with the simplest architecture, but the one with the simplest mental model. People can handle enormous complexity underneath if they can explain what they’re using in one sentence.

@Nora_Achab now I showed you mine....now I'm curious about yours

[District 001 @District_001]

@Nora_Achab Technology is amazing, and I couldn’t do half of what I do without it. But I don’t think we’re supposed to drown in it all day. Sometimes it’s good to have something that just tells you the time 😅

[District 001 @District_001]

@Nora_Achab Yep, this is the latest one I built. I’ve never shared one of my watches on social media before, so this is a first 😅
I have to admit, seeing my own name on something I built with my hands felt pretty special❤️

[District 001 @District_001]

@Nora_Achab Thank you! I’m trying 😅 Some days it feels like progress, other days it just feels like a very long to-do list. But I keep showing up

[District 001 @District_001]

1:20 PM on a Saturday and still at work.

8:30 PM feels way too far away 😅

Time to go home, grab some lunch and spend a little time with the family.

Then back to District 001 and PostScout.

Apparently weekends are just weekdays with different names 😂

@Nora_Achab Keto is temporary. Pizza is a cultural responsibility 😂

[District 001 @District_001]

I’m Italian.

After a long week of work, there’s only one proper way to slow down:

homemade pizza 🍕

No code.
No startups.
No deadlines.

Just pizza, family and a quiet Saturday night.

@dvineet9 I’m starting to understand this firsthand. I joined X to talk about what I’m building, but some of the conversations I’ve had here are becoming just as valuable as the building itself.💪🏻💪🏻

[District 001 @District_001]

@Nora_Achab 🤣🤣🤣true...So I'm looking for investors!!!🤣

[District 001 @District_001]

@sigmagirlgrind Struggle doesn’t guarantee a great startup. But it definitely teaches you what hype never will.💪🏻
