Who else is a little tired from staying up too late making things?
Ugh, it feels like when I first got the Internet at home. I couldn't tear myself away for hours.
My partner has started to call it "the Code Hole"

Every night I try to break the next day into the following:
- Little things to get out of the way fast before they become debt
- Top 3 things that will have make a difference next week
- Long running things that will give compound interest so I can do more
- Important things I MUST do OR ELSE
- Little things to get out of the way fast before they become debt
- Top 3 things that will have make a difference next week

Now is an amazing time to engineer again. I've been doing leadership and gluework for so long, but wow, this dopamine is off the hook. The time to impact is incredible. If you've always seen pitfalls and systems, now is your time to let loose. You don't need a team. You don't need consensus to try
