“I should go to the gym.” That doesn’t actually motivate you—it just makes you feel guilty when you don’t. Your brain doesn’t work on should. It works on wants and needs.

If you want to build a habit, stop forcing it and start finding a reason to want it.

@t3dotgg The delusion is actually insane

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@Hasen_Judi @LouisGoldfinch Except this leaves out the fact that not everyone is exposed to the same things from a young age

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@vibester @dvassallo @AndrewJDavison Is it though?

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@thatguybg @sarah_cone @sbaileysavoy It’s true, I wear black everyday and look way cool

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@dvassallo @AndrewJDavison Nah, no need to go to the hospital for a broken bone. No doctor cares about you as much as you do

@MikeJensenDev @techsavvytravvy @ImLunaHey I try not to think about what sleep was like pre kids. Relative to newborn phase, I guess I sleep okay lol

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@techsavvytravvy @ImLunaHey Good point. Honestly every baby is different, so with that every parent’s experience is going to be a bit different as well

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@techsavvytravvy @ImLunaHey Sleep when they sleep, unless you ever want to get anything else done that doesn’t include taking care of a newborn baby.

The real advice is, you’re probably not going to sleep much for several months

@manastuerenberg @credistick @alexisohanian @Humane @MKBHD Millions of views? I would say he achieved his goal

A wise YouTuber once told me “your first 50 videos are most likely going to suck no matter what, just go out there and make the videos”.

As someone who just started their YouTube journey, I’m trying to follow that advice, but I do agree, it’s hard to put out content you know just isn’t that good.

@dvassallo @eamokeane Bro’s word of the day is “sensational”

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

@dvassallo We disagree on what my job is

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@dvassallo @BillyM2k Nah man, this ain’t it.

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@the_code_brew @webdevcody @t3dotgg Honestly, upload the “garbage”. You’re probably harder on yourself than anyone else is going to be, and the content you don’t have scripted probably isn’t as bad as you think

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@migsy_boy @aarondfrancis The backend is what he’s talking about

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@MikeFerrara @karimdaghari_ I mean that literally is what web dev is. Feel free to provide insight on what “getting out of that hole” means. Unless you’re talking about doing something other than web dev

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@ericson4smith @levelsio That’s just not true lol

[Chad Cuomo @chad_cuomo]

@orange_marton @t3dotgg Or, maybe it’s cold outside so I want to know when I should open my windows

@thekitze It just keeps getting better from here. My daughter is 1 1/2, and her calling out to me and running to me to play with her is the best feeling in the world.

On the other side of it, her crying out for me when I need to leave is the most heartbreaking thing
