Today’s the day I finally show up.
After being stuck sick and putting things off forever,
I’m done hiding.
Now I’ll create, document my vibe,
and share it everywhere.
🤩Wish someone would just say
‘Good luck with your new start
that took guts.'

Monthly Apply = Some chance of success.
Don’t Apply = 0% chance of success.

I’ve learned this the hard way waiting for the ‘perfect’ opportunity or doubting whether I meet every single requirement. Be reasonable about this so you don't waste your time.

But don't skip an oppurtunity because you're missing just a couple things.

Applicant requirements are often wish lists, not rules.

Don't reject yourself.

Shoot your shot.

This was a good read.

My highest Snapchat streak surpassed 1000.

Despite being a Boomer, I have been exchanging snaps with friends and strangers for the last 3 years. I have never done anything for 1000 consecutive days. In fact, I am known for starting to build something and abandoning it the moment I get praised for starting to build it in public. What if I wrote an article each day for 1000 consecutive days? What if I read 10 pages from books that I wish I had read for 1000 consecutive days? What if I created a pull request or two for 1000 consecutive days?

1000 days of showing up. 1000 days of brushing off the boredom. 1000 days of sitting in front of your desk. 1000 days of practicing a skill. The name of the game is staying in the game. I am aware I lack discipline. I am aware that the little I have achieved was the result of loosely integrated fleeting motivation and a dopamine rush that has made me visible for all the chaotic movements I made online. And I wish to flip the script.

When you're not sure what to do, doing more is always a great default.

Action creates insights. Insights creates new actions.

I have always struggled to find a reliable habit tracker that actually keeps me consistent. I recently started using https://app.dashzz.com/ and it’s excellent. Give it a try!

Lately, I’ve been researching and have become completely obsessed with what it really means to build a brand. Not a normal brand, but a cult-like brand. This short article/blog is what I’ve learned about it. Enjoy!

What's your guilty displeasure?

Mine is the amount of config files in Web and Mobile dev. All those files just to primarily work on 3/4 of them is a bit odd for me.

Being on the verge of giving up usually means you are closer than you think. Just Keep that in mind

This is Dyson, the creator of the world’s first cyclone vacuum that created a multibillion-dollar business and a personal fortune of more than $5 billion. And this line has been my favorite in the book so far. If you’ve been trying relentlessly but feel like nothing is moving, you’ll want to read this.
