Message for today: Now not how
Still feeling like I could have woken up earlier. Stayed up late last night to finish my work. A lot of time was spent reading and researching, perhaps a bit too much. Need to clarify exactly what I am trying to achieve, and then condition myself to just get down to the thumbtacks. Say no to every lesser tasks.
The last 2 years I worked w/ @noahkagan every day.
Like right next to him.
First thought, “wow this dude moves fast.”
Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised (he was #30 at Facebook, founder of @AppSumo).
But everything felt like 2x speed at first.

8:17am - woke up feeling well rested. Not sure if the mouth tape helped
9:43am - took a call with a candidate, got rejected for another role; still stings after so many years
12:23pm - showered, browsed a few Twitter threads, sat for 1 hour, went through morning routine, planned for the rest of the day
1:44pm - 2 pomodori to score and review candidates
2:01pm - caught up on Slack
3:04pm - finished meeting with Sandy and Vinsen about marketing tech team, signed some documents
3:38pm - finished lunch while listening to Hatching Twitter. Turns out it was a managerial mess in the beginning.
5:25pm - attended product OKR check-ins. Finished reading a few tweets and profile of Jack Dorsey
5:47pm - took a break at the verandah
7:52pm - left feedback for Shubham’s 1-1, went cycling. Couldn’t clock 1 hour, to resume after meeting with Ryan
8:28pm - completed call with Ryan for accountability check-in. Great session where we covered a lot of grounds. Ryan is a great listener. Followed up on Slack and closed loose threads. Next week with Ryan is planned out nicely, just have to ensure I wake up early. Time to prepare for it now by sleeping before 11pm tonight.
