(Caveat: I built this)
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.
An idea I’m implementing in my life:
The 1-6-4 Method.
Popularized by entrepreneur and author Jesse Itzler, it’s a foolproof way to make sure you always have fun planned throughout the year.
1. Plan one big “year-making” event
This is inspired by the Japanese concept of Misogi (a challenging annual endeavor).
Pick one massive defining challenge or event for the year that pushes you to grow past your limits:
• A long endurance event (like a marathon)
• A big personal project (like finally starting that side business)
• Something transformative (like a multi-day solo backpacking trip)
This’ll act as the anchor for your year.
2. Schedule 6 mini-adventures for every other month
Lock in one small, exciting experience every other month (6 per year):
• Going camping at a national park
• Traveling on vacation to a place you’ve never been
• Attending a music festival where your favorite artist is performing
• Hosting a group of friends for a dinner party and game night
• Explore a new part of your city that you’ve always wanted to visit
3. Implement a winning habit every quarter
Add one positive, compounding habit every 3 months (4 per year).
It could be drinking more water, walking 10k steps per day, meditating, being on time, or any small routine that improves your life.
These are your building blocks for long-term growth.

We’ve become bad at leisure.
The digital world isn’t bringing as much joy to our lives.
Having alternative choices (using the 1-6-4 Method) to look forward to throughout the year makes life so much more enjoyable.
And remember:
Put these on your calendar so they actually happen rather than staying as ideas.
Cheers to more joy this year and beyond. 🥂

A rule that will lower your anxiety: Don’t replay conversations you can’t change, and don’t pre-live ones that haven’t happened. Focus on the next right action. Most stress comes from living everywhere except the present.
A friend of mine used to say: "Confidence isn’t built by thinking positive thoughts. It’s built by doing difficult things while your brain screams at you to stop."
Damn, was he right.
*Before, without kids*
Friend: We just had a baby.
Me: Congrats!
*Now, as a parent*
Friend: We just had a baby.
Me: WHAT?! How are you coping? Do you need any help or anything?!!
@sweatystartup Many people think entrepreneurship is about freedom and flexibility.
But it’s mostly pressure, uncertainty, and solving problems you never asked for.
What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. what a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. what a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.
Things I learnt and wanna remember as a new mom witnessing how my dear little one is growing and evolving so quickly:
It's difficult, but tough times don't last.
Be present and enjoy the journey.
Because in a blink of an eye, life evolves..
I used to think that a good life is about leaving a mark in history, by working on something meaningful for mankind.
Now, while meaningful work is still important to me, the difference is that it simply gives my life purpose.
I no longer count on being remembered?
