If you’re too focused on building an audience you won’t build a community

Important to remember these days

And if you take your community for granted it won’t matter what you build

The biggest life hack I've made recently is rolling out the balls of my feet using a hard foam ball while I work at my desk. My rule is if I'm sitting at my desk, I'm rolling it under my feet (Habit stacking - see Atomic Habits book). Pretty sure I've felt tension that was years old let go a few times now. Huge change.

Yeah I got abs

Abs-olutely no idea how to afford ever having a house and family 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else feeling like the current negative/sideways sentiment means this is a great stacking opportunity?

I may be delusional though. Thoughts?

People probably don’t realize I’m actually talking about stacking more books
