Was in Istanbul 2 weeks ago. Two things blew me away Kunefe and Cig Kofte.

I've been a perfectionist most of my life. It becomes a problem when it holds you back, makes you miss opportunities, or keeps you from taking action. Over the past few weeks, I tested a worksheet call Good Enough. Before each task, I wrote down what I feared would happen if I stopped on time. Afterward, I checked whether those fears came true, whether I stopped on time or not. The results have been encouraging, so I'm building an app version, starting with an MVP. Excited to share the build soon. 🛠️ 🙂

Just got my hair did. 🧑‍🦱 Leaving Istanbul now.

When in Istanbul one must...

When in Cappadocia.

When you're on vacay and IG lock you out of account. Smh.

Day 5 of 5. Just added a ton more ingredients to database to be flagged. I said ton because these were the two products: Frozen Pizza: 54 ingredients😱 Honey Bun: 52 ingredients 😬

Day 4 of 5. Verified UI refinement are working and description of each makes sense. Also fix issue app not being able to read large dimension .heic photos.

Day 3 of 5. Was able to take photo of ingredient list and then have app generated list of flagged ingredients. Example below is with shelf stable Parmesan Cheese.

Good news. Project is still on. My interruption got interrupted. Today I built the UI tested a few ingredients. For example: Input = sodium nitrate Flagged = bad Category = preservative Explanation = bad because can cause cancer

Good Enough app(currently a worksheet), will prevent over optimizing/perfectionism in your project by tracking fear based assumption vs actual outcome.

Day 1 of 5: Ingredient Scanner App - build MVP playbook - pull ingredient(food label) dataset - flag bad ingredients Context: This micro app is part of a larger experiment called Good Enough, which is the real experiment I'm testing.

Interesting Google Business profile. All reviews are fake, some more obvious than others. Company has 31 five stars reviews except 1 from real person. Haha. Talk about one hell of a lead-gen, middle man operation.

If your site only has a home and contact page, Google has no idea what you do or where you do it. The fix is simpler than most people think. Split by service, then by location. AC Repair in Sandy Springs AC Replacement in Lawrenceville AC Tune-Up in Decatur Each page targets one search, one intent, one call. One page trying to rank for everything ranks for nothing. Structure is the strategy.
