Playing the long game
Navigating my 20s while roaming around the world for nice food, good WiFi and great people. Interested in software, bootstrapped businesses, cryptocurrencies, travel and writing
Of all the places I thought I'd visit last year, Oman was definitely not in my first guesses. However, after spending some time in the Emirates, I found myself craving Arab food, the desert, and some actual warm weather for a change. Maybe I had been holed up in Europe
Guess what, I only have one life, there's no leaderboard, and every minute spent thinking about how other humans are "cooler", "better", and "smarter" than us is a waste that I'll for sure regret in old life.
Derek Sivers' How To live has an interesting proposition: each chapter gives you advice on how you should live your life. And each chapter directly contradicts all the others.
My days used to be mostly dominated by an obsession, sometimes unhealthy, for productivity. Quantifying every minute of my waking self, punishing myself when I'm not following the todo-list or the calendar, and shaming myself into doing longer hours and not taking breaks. Pressure to perform in the purest form.
Eu, você e o resto do mundo temos mais em comum com perus do que você imagina
Living through uncertain times is already pretty stressful, but this plus anxiety, leaves one unable to perform anything. My strategy to solve this wasn't a complete shutdown from the news, social media and chat groups. It was rather an incisive change on how I start my days.
I spent the last few months thinking I should write something again
I can totally say 2018 was the best year of my life so far.
I have a confession to make.
Ok, so today I’m going to talk about a nasty topic: my laziness.
Home is boring af. Really.
Around 30 days ago I left my job in Recife with the goal of bootstrapping a digital product while living off my savings and/or freelance jobs.
It’s been some time since I wrote something (36 days, to be more exact). Lifelogging was the goal when I started this blog, so I think it’s time to “formalize” it.
I thought that writing a post about my long and short term goals is a good idea to keep me accountable so here I am.
Eu já tentei lançar um monte de coisas desde 2015. Desde sistemas de gestão até sistemas para clínicas e marketplaces super complexos B2B2C (essa última eu tentei umas três vezes).
