I messed up. Kind of.

Life Update.

Usually I have a certain topic planned for these weekly newsletters.

This week I have none.

I don’t pre plan these too much, I write about topics that I am really interested in or want to talk about. So it’s spontaneous, and the energy is felt in writing.

As you all know, I was back home last week and got back on 22nd night time. Did a QnA with the ECB community and went to bed.

It took about 4 days to get my sleep schedule right.

When I was back home, I used to go to bed at around 3-4 am. Wake up at 11. Have a massive breakfast then nap again.

My day used to start with a coffee at 3pm daily for a week.

In that time, I didn’t work much, I was pretty much chilling. And taking care of the bare minimum tasks.

Getting content out. Managing the team. Client updates and a few calls here and there.

The work was about 1 hour a day max, and it was fine.

I needed that time to reflect on a lot of things. Where did things do good, and places where it’s somewhat of a failure.

We don’t know wtf we’re doing. It’s all figuring out one by one.

I also felt that, because things weren’t where I’d like them to be, I was constantly in a loop of comparing myself to a lot of other people.

Although, now it’s gotten to a point where I don’t care, it still somewhat in the back of my mind used to bug me.

I kept on asking to myself “Where am I going wrong?” “Am I really meant for this or not?”

Why can’t I just keep on growing my agency and brand for 1 year straight.

The good months we have had in both, if we continue that for a year, we’ll be in the top 1% of this game easily.

Because I have high standards for myself, I don’t care if I’m already doing decent enough.

All of these thoughts pop up again, every single time I come back from home to Pune.

And this week was no different.

I am pumped up. I am putting in a lot of work.

I am way more productive than I used to be. It’s like something changed by default.

But again, the constant high standard doesn’t let me get complacent. It’s so easy to get distracted on this journey and keeping my mental right takes effort.

Overall, this week went into resetting my sleep schedule, my diet, getting back to jiu jitsu training, and 10xing the effort put in on the agency and the brand.

I put in a shift daily. Getting majority of the things done.

Past self would be cursing himself for not seeing quick progress. Current self is patient and all about believing that if I am doing all I could today, everything I want will become a reality.

For some reason, I don’t worry about it all.

I know it sounds contradicting, me having high standards, but never worrying about it.

Trust me, something has changed that has made me love the process way more.

And that’s how I’ve been keeping up.

Trying to wake up a bit earlier, get my meals in on time, train everyday and work.

There’s a lot to do. Laying one brick at a time. For the agency, ECB, my brand and me.

No real topic for this edition. I don’t want to put too much pressure about this.

Don’t get me wrong, I love writing this newsletter, and it’s a lot about what I feel in the moment.

I’ll make the next one a banger.

This is me writing this at 3.15 am on 28th September.

The weekend is packed. Have to wake up in 4-5 hours. Go train. Go for a podcast in the evening. Take care of agency work and brand work.

Same thing on Sunday, although the evening will be a nice time outside.

Good week overall.

Do you want me to do more of these updates? Stuff I don’t talk about anywhere else?

Let me know in the DMs, or drop a reply to this email.

I am grateful to be able to do all this. I am grateful for you all.

Peace out.
