Lost in comparison, found myself again in flow

This past week has been great. Overall.

Trained a lot. A LOT.

Work went accordingly, not many dips or anything.

Took the entire Saturday off, probably the most fun day of the year with friends.

Woke up at 12.30pm today.

Watched solo leveling again. And just chilled, nothing else.

Evening hits, and I’m there sitting by myself, thinking what am I doing?

There are things to be taken care of. Why am I lost in my phone screen again. I’ve been so much in motion, I was left confused when I was still.

Instantly, because of this innate bottomless pit of ambition, I went on to find solutions.

It started off with:

• Why are there certain issues with agency clients? What can I do to solve them?

• What’s lacking in my content, that I need to fix?

• How can I make more money, efficiently?

And that led to me comparing myself to people around me:

• Why are they making more money than I am?

• I have all these issues, they must not have them.

• Am I pretender? Am I skipping on tasks that I must be doing?

So I went the usual route. Cleaned up the space a bit. Got the whiteboard this time, cleaned that and started writing.

Just that one 30 min session got my headspace right again.

That 30 min of flow state. Me learning about manychat flows in particular, designing more flows, made me happy again.

Been a while since I spent some time trying something new. Want to go deeper into Claude, making products, and long form content.

Maybe picking up the old sketching habit again. Should I do it? Let me know by replying to this email.

I have been fasting throughout the day. Only had a coffee until dinner time, it’s 12am. The next day, and I’ll have food after I send this out.

Just wanted to let you guys know, that you should not trust everything you see. No-one is perfect.

Sounds cliché, because it’s true. At all levels we face similar issues, with different circumstances.

The only difference becomes, how fast we handle them. And immediately get into problem solving mode.

Loads to do. About to pull an all nighter now that I am in flow. Big week ahead. One week of work left before I leave for Bali for a 2 week work trip.

Let’s get it.
