i blamed my walking pad for becoming furniture turns out i was the problem i made a habit i can't skip then i've broke the trigger: building = walking time to bring the habit back (thx @ogi_joo for the hint)

i thought i needed more time to move turns out i just needed to stop sitting while building getting back on my walking pad might be my best decision this year i’m now averaging around 10,000 steps a day same limited time between my 9–5, family, and side projects. but with the trigger to hop on the pad and walk at the desk, motivates me to walk at 9-5 too now spending more of it on my feet, and this helps for the marathon prep too what’s one small change that made a huge difference for you?

i’m fucking good in what i'm doin' and i’m not afraid to say it anymore a few years ago, i wouldn’t even have dared to write those words i was the quiet guy in the room the one people barely noticed today, i’ve built a level of self-confidence i never imagined having and as an entrepreneur, a leader, and in life in general, it’s a game changer i make decisions faster, speak with confidence, and trust my own judgment instead of constantly second-guessing myself the biggest change? i finally stopped underestimating myself how much do you actually believe in yourself?

walked even more trigger of walking while building was a pretty good decision and claude did a good job coding this walk-tracker with full walking pad control πŸ‘

posting consistently is harder than building consistently during my 9–5, i feel guilty spending time on anything unrelated to my job after work, family comes first and whatever time is left usually goes into actually building so i only post when i find a free moment but to keep the algorithm happy, i feel like i should be posting way more often and consistently which feels almost impossible without sacrificing something else how do you stay consistent on X while juggling a job, family, and building on the side?

i’m starting to think "would you use this?" is one of the worst questions to ask about a new product people are nice they will tell you an idea sounds "great" but putting an actual price in front of them changes the conversation completely i’m trying to get comfortable doing that much earlier

efficiency maxxing - took a run - marathon prep - had father-son time - heard @arvidkahl's episode #397 - flooded my brain with fresh air and along the way, another runner joined the run and we had a social talk

before redesigning a website, i would rather understand 3 things: 1. where visitors come from 2. what they’re supposed to do next 3. how many enquiries become customers a prettier landing page won’t necessarily fix a broken conversion path learned that from a recent client conversation

Would you rather be the best at one thing, or good at many?
