I love when I’m inspired by something I highlighted a long time ago in my Readwise Daily Review. This one feels especially relevant with my recent excitement around indie hacking.

I wish I would have known that there was no need to wait. I went to college. I went to law school. I worked in law and banking, though not for terribly long. But not until I started PayPal did I fully realize that you don’t have to wait to start something. So if you’re planning to do something with your life, if you have a 10-year plan of how to get there, you should ask: Why can’t you do this in 6 months? Sometimes, you have to actually go through the complex, 10-year trajectory. But it’s at least worth asking whether that’s the story you’re telling yourself, or whether that’s the reality.

I updated my bio (the words at the top of every page) and my about page. See the changelog for more details, or just check them out!

I just found out that UDisc Community was released a couple weeks ago. I’ve been waiting for this feature for years!

Here’s an invite link if you have the app but don’t have access to Community yet, and here’s my profile if you want to see how I’m playing!

A moment of silence for the people on low-carb diets…

So cool… Saving this to try out on my blog later. Matt Webb has “collaborative cursors” on his blog, so you can see other visitors' cursors and chat with people who are currently on the same page. I love that he hangs out on his home page and says “hi” to people sometimes.

Is it better to be a cowardly lion or a brave chicken?

My favorite doctor appointments are the ones where I wait forever, then the doctor comes in and says “After looking at your file, we can’t do anything until we run some tests. Schedule those and come back later”. /sigh

This seemed like it really hit the nail on the head. An insightful look at how “therapy culture” is imitating religion, but falling short.

Currently eating Chick-fil-A on a picnic blanket in the parking lot of a Barnes & Noble. I love Saturdays.

I recently started a tradition of working from a different coffee shop each Friday. Today’s Pumpkin Pie Latte was a nice complement to deep work ☕
