Been sick the past few days. I haven’t done much building or marketing. I find that I beat myself up over that too harshly.
It’s okay to take breaks and take care of your health.
When urgency becomes your default setting, you begin to live as if everything needs to happen immediately. You rush through conversations. Rush through meals. Rush through books. Rush through mornings. Rush through the people you love. Always thinking about what's next instead of where you are. And after a while, you stop noticing life altogether. You begin to believe your worth depends on how much you can do, how quickly you can get to the "next thing". That's what makes life dull, empty, and full of anxiety. Slow down. Live this moment first. Fully. The next one can wait.
the last time I spent all day debugging thousands of lines of my own code, I didn't know it'd be the last time I'd get that feeling when it finally worked.
It makes people crazy, but my phone is always on silent, I have no notifications on, and I don't text often.
Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted living.
All of the happiness in life is realizing you are 100% in control of your life, and you're capable of making tough decisions that might hurt for a couple of weeks and months, but can lead to long-term happiness.
