Reflections are underrated.

You need to take time off, get bored, listen to music, just walk around in your room like a mad man.

Now you will start thinking what went wrong, what could have been made to do it better. How to improve.

Relax, write things down, etch some rules and goals for you, sleep well, wake up and get to it.

Many of us fear to do mistakes.

What would people think about me.

Without all the mistakes you made earlier, you wouldn’t be here. https://t.co/g1wRF8tOPD

If you are building a product, don’t do this.

Do not pay for ads

Stop thinking that one of your post will go viral and you will have 1000s of users overnight.

Instead do this.

Find your ideal customer from anywhere. They could be your friends, relatives, colleagues, or maybe someone from an online channel.

Talk to them, not just DM, but face to face or call.

Tell what you are building.

And let them talk about their problems. Just listen.

Now you know the real problems.

Ask them questions, but let them do the talk.

Do not ask if they will pay and how much.

Instead ask them, are they using any products, and are they paying for any or planning to use one.

If they are using, you got a winner. If they are planning, it’s still good.

If they are not using any, figure out what would make them pay, without asking them directly.

That’s how you build from scratch and grow by understanding the customer.

Not plan to go viral overnight and make millions.

Everyday is a right day.

Do I have to say anything else? https://t.co/QVK8gJEsv2

Guys you can always use AI to write content or reply to the posts.

But, are you learning how to write as well?

Storytelling is the name of the game.

I have been writing spontaneous tweets recently, and almost all my tweets are unedited.

Written in 1 shot.

I learnt the way, and practiced writing it.

Now, I don't need to go edit my tweets.

I don't have to ask AI to rewrite stuff, and get frustrated because it couldn't write like me.

Just write, the flow will make you write better.

If you force yourself to use AI, the writing will not come naturally to you.

Writing is therapeutic. You know when you do it.

I have been writing for a while and it has always been my gateway to dream, and bring clarity.

I do not mean you should stop using AI, but learning to write better always helps one way or the other.

Writing is something that will make you think clear.

Do not think of it as just a content, it's beyond just words. It's a story.

It is just getting easier and easier to spot AI content lately, and when people see it, they just scroll past that.

If you want to get spotted, write naturally, not artificially.

I woke up before my alarm went off today.

When you have something burning inside, you won’t feel like sleeping longer.

Find the one that can give you good sleep after an accomplishment and a reason to wake up early.

Here’s some tips on fixing your sleep.

Go to bed at the exact same time.

8 hours of sleep is a myth, find what your body wants, mine is 6.5 hours.

I sleep more, I go groggy for whole day, I sleep less, I feel tired. 6.5 hours is my sweet spot. Find yours.

Take 1 nap if tired.

Do not sacrifice sleep for anything, for your brain to function well, you need to good sleep.

Sleep debt is real, use 1-2 days in a week to sleep a little more, so you compensate the lost sleep if any.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol or anything else that can affect your sleep.

Stop having heavy meals at night.

There’s a saying. “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.”

Food plays a major role in sleep.

Figure out ways to manage stress, mine is playing with my kid before bed, it was meditation earlier, but doesn’t matter.

If you fix your sleep, you fix your life.

What was your first project, and what did you learn from it?

Built this 12 years, 9 months ago.

I learnt how to deploy, how to SEO and built a community of 10k+ people over few years.

The community is still alive (barely) as an archive.

Wayback machine broke the design, but it was simple.

It was a community about altered states of mind.

One has to keep talking to be heard, the baby that doesn't cry doesn't get fed. https://t.co/s74bctcaVb

We sleep and work more than we spend time with family. 💀 https://t.co/N1StnVLhdn

We live the most distracted times in the whole human history.

Our attention spans are worse.

I used to doom scroll and waste a lot of time.

Now, I don’t care what algorithms suggests.

I have my own list of people that I listen to.

I have a playlist of music that go back again and again.

I have a list of videos that keep watching repeatedly.

I set a day to consume content, and I just try to find good content that 1 day.

I put those into my list and never consume algo content until next time.

This helped me keep myself sane and reduce distractions.

Do not consume, engage, build, grow.

This is the mindset that helped me put myself on track for growth.
