Fieldway

Just sent early access to the first two chapters of my eLearning course for some people to review. At my current pace, it'll be 4-6 more months to finish it, but this is a huge milestone and I'm very proud of it!

Casts are my own and don't represent anyone but me.

Sometimes, I take a break. If you're burned out, there's not amount of additional effort that will fix that. You just need rest.

Other times, I remain disciplined. My wife and I have agreed that Monday and Thursday evenings are for Fieldway work, and she puts the kids to bed on Thursdays so I can start earlier in the evening. It doesn't matter if I'm tired after a long day, that time has been set aside for Fieldway, so I get to it. And I find that, when I go to bed, I am glad that I put in the effort.

But overall, I love what I'm doing. I care about it. To nurture that love, I try to make sure I'm working in a sustainable way that doesn't put too much pressure on it and cause me to burn out unnecessarily. Check out https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/twenty-mile-march.html for an applicable passage... it's easier to stay motivated if you don't set yourself up for failure by pushing yourself so hard that you break.

Nice guy pretty interested in how web 3 and crypto can help the average person.

Oh snap. Way to go. I’m still building. How do you get motivated when it gets hard?
