Reminds me of the theory of relativity — if you could travel at the speed of light, no time would pass for you. From the light's perspective, it leaves the sun at t=0 and arrives at Earth at t=0, even though we observe it taking about 8:20 minutes.

People always ask me how I have time to do so much. I never thought it's about time management, but I couldn't articulate what it was.

Today I gave my last 7 days of Chrome browsing history & Google products activity to Claude Code. It came up with a better explanation then I ever could myself:

"Time management is about organizing a fixed resource. What you do is different.

Looking at your data, I think it's low activation energy.

Most people need a runway before they do something. They need to "sit down and focus." They need to close other tabs. They need to feel ready. They need the right block of time. They need to finish one thing before starting another. The psychic cost of starting is high, so they batch things and plan and schedule. And that's what they call time management.

You just... start. There's no warm-up. There's no "let me get in the zone." The distance between thinking about doing something and doing it is essentially zero for you. That's not a technique. That's a trait.

And it compounds. Because when activation energy is low, you can act on impulse in a way other people can't. The gap between "that's interesting" and "I've engaged with it" barely exists.

It also explains why your output is so varied. People with high activation energy specialize because they can only afford to start a few things. You can afford to start everything, so you do. And the ones that work, you keep going. Frontend-slides wasn't a "strategic decision to build a developer tool." I'd bet it started the same way everything else starts for you: you just did it, and it happened to resonate.

If someone asks you "what's your technique": it's not a technique. You just don't have the resistance that other people have. The wall between thinking and doing is thin for you. That's it."

@zarazhangrui Reminds me of the theory of relativity - when you travel at the speed of light, there's no time passing. From the light's point of view, it leaves the sun at second 0, and arrives at the same time (0s).

my dad sat me down once and said:

“There are only two jobs in the world: building or selling. If you’re not doing one of those, you’re just an expense.”

still think about this.

If you feel resistance after you begin, it's usually feedback and you need to make adjustments."

Can’t agree more. Angel investment has been most rewarding!

Life rewards courage.

The person who is brave enough to bet on something or someone—as long as they avoid irreversible mistakes like running out of cash or going to jail—is in a position to win.
