i know there’s a lot of builders and independent creators on here, so i want some insight… i’m at a crossroads where i will soon be needing to make a decision on whether i continue on the 9-5 job route or double down on myself. (i have technically 2 jobs, but 1 of them may be coming to an end in the near future) during the pandemic when i was laid off, i ended up making the most money i’ve ever made in 6 months by designing graphic tees & masks / doing e-commerce. i worked really hard but i was working for myself and it paid off. eventually got burnt out and went back to the 9-5 life when i was offered my job back. this was when i was doing web2 b2b saas lol…ended up getting laid off a second time and that’s how i started working in web3. (it’s a longer story, but that’s the TLDR). doing that proved to me that i am capable of building for myself and on my own terms. i’ve always known that i’d wanna return to ‘entrepreneur’ life (but *not* making t-shirts lol) when time was right.

clips from my main stage panel at ETHDenver a lil over a week ago…. i’ve spoken at conferences and such before, but this one is very special for me — bc the topic was re: music x web3. feels great to have my passions collide like this.

fleeting thoughts inspired by today’s conversations: - tune out all the noise that disrupts you from living in your purpose. - being in alignment requires shedding your ego. - nurture the friendships that energize and inspire you, not the ones that drain you. - your comfort zone will kill you. do the hard things.

i can feel myself getting a *very mild* cold so here’s my go-to remedy: - eat a couple raw garlic cloves (don’t worry i’m not breathing in anybody’s face for the next few days) - bone broth with turmeric, ginger, cayenne pepper - gotta get green juice tmrw - lemon water rinse and repeat.

one of my biggest learnings about me + my adhd is that in order to thrive (aka function), i *NEED* to lean heavily into my routines and rituals. i’ve done a lot of experimenting on what works (and what doesn’t) in the past few years...and i think i’ve finally figured out how to “master my mornings”. here’s what that looks like for me: • wake up 2.5 hours before any meetings (usually around 4:20am lol literally) • don’t open up work chats or think about work until 1 hour before mtgs • make a hot cup of coffee and go on a 10-15 minute walk • stretch and listen to music • do at least 1 house task (tidy up, fold laundry, dishes, etc) (list is not in order rly but yes) i’m curious to know what morning habits/routines/rituals work for u???

here’s an example from a studio test/audition for one of the fitness apps i did back in 2021. this one is for cycling, but basically: - i create the workouts - i do the workouts at relatively full effort still for the most part! some trainers “ease” off, but it’s hard for me to teach with intensity when i’m half-assing lol. - i have to yell/talk mostly the entire time i’m running, cycling, etc. LOL

got my ‘official’ adhd diagnosis about when i was 20 (~13 yrs ago) even tho i’ve had it since i was a kid. only in the past 5 years did i start learning how to work *with* my adhd outside of relying on just a prescription. all that said, wanna share some recent thoughts/reflections: i have frequent spurts where i can get a million things done in an insanely short amount of time. my creative and productivity levels are absurdly higher than the avg human when i’m in this state. i personally love this part about me/my adhd. but alas, my “hyperdrive” comes in waves. and that’s why taking breaks is super important. REST is even more important. this should be common sense, but it’s taken me a while to (routinely) put conscious effort into turning my brain off to avoid burnout. ok end rant.
