I left my job and apartment.
Itโs time to live.
2026 is the year to build my business, body, and mind.
Just two days ago, I made my first App Store dollars too! ๐ฅณ
Iโm going to post and document everything here on X.
Big shoutout to @levelsio and @robj3d3 for motivating the fuck out of me.
Stay tuned!
When driving in new cities I go to I always drive without navigation.
I look at the map. Try to memorize and drive after landmarks and the sun.
First 2-3 rides I need to hold and look at the maps every 10 min for a refresh.
After a few rides i drive 95% of my drives by just looking once in the beginning and maybe once on the last 2 mins to check which of the small roads it is.
Itโs really cool to know the all the cities you visited well.
Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.
- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.
- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.
- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."
- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
@stevie_builds This is so heartwarming to see.
I enjoyed every day with you man! You got the heart at the right place.
Enjoy the family time in Aussieland ๐ซถ๐ผ
Just realized that the Guesthouse im staying in has a non build out rooftop.
No AC but its windy and I can be topless without being rude.
Where are you working from today?
