This and the next week are way too much work with a tight deadline at work, yesterday I had to work 9 hours onsite and a 30 min call after the day at home & same would continue for today and coming days
This is a huge learning opportunity and hopefully will apply these principles to the side projects which would be on hold for a while now
I've had a long work day and the same is going to continue tomorrow, this is keeping me off the side projects
Waiting for this hell load of work to be wrapped up so I can take time out for the projects
When you avoid fun and people for too long just to work more, it doesn’t make you disciplined.
It builds pressure. Then one day you can’t do anything beyond what’s required.
That crash isn’t random. It’s burnout.
I've had these cycles going for years, where for months I can put in 16 hours a day and then for weeks I feel like doing nothing, feeling like crap. What I believe is I suck at creating a balance in recreational activities and work/learning routines.

I need help
I've been building https://t.co/kss9ByLrYL for a almost a month now, 20 days offline and 10+ days in public. I've created a platform frustrated from the fact that no single idea validation platform exists where I can talk to people and know if this is worth building or not.
The reality of why such platforms don't exist, hit me now, it's just hard to build community/social platforms because their value is their users and their contributions and when starting out you have none.
I'm genuienly trying to solve a problem but am afraid that I've headed the wrong direction, this platform might not exist and rather I should be working on something better.
I've been researching for some days now how do I make this better or pivot the idea, but all the stories and insights are directing to either build a landing page + waitlist solution for indie hackers or stopping the progress on the platform.
Need advice from people who've had similar experiences in the past.
Thank you!
Outside of X no one is bothered with the AI craze, most people just use chatgpt or claude to still just copy paste stuff
I heard a senior engineer saying there's so much time for AI to mature that even someone my age (23) would retire
Either they know something I don't or they aren't aware of the pace it's growing
I've been using social media really wrong
I don't get time to interact with people and only spare enough time to share updates and thoughts and that's just beating the purpose of social media
How do you working professional manage?
Fail fast, fail often, fail hard
Crush your ego, rebuild with the residues
You're against yourself, you need to defeat yourself to reshape your reality
