Notes

  1. Burning out

    Guess what, I am feeling extremely burnt out.

    Although I try to brush it off, the feeling of burning out is such a commonplace for founders.

    I do wonder where it comes from.

    But right now I feel:

    • extremely unmotivated
    • tired, sleepy, numb
    • unable to focus on any meaningful tasks
    • anxious about everything else

    The worst thing about being a founder I think is you are alone, in this boat, in the vast ocean of possibilities and challenges. No one outside this world can really relate to you.

    For most people, once they finish the day’s work, they can completely shut off. Not founders, there’s always something else you can do, and always something else needs attending to.

    I also feel very restless, so I started changing this blog and finishing up the comment system.

    Because tokens never sleep right?

  2. I Go Down Rabbit Holes

    One of the things my friend Amel said still cracks me up in the middle of the night, or any other random occasions it decides to enter my mind:

    “I go down rabbit holes.”

    Well, that just sums it up for all of us.

    We are professional rabbit holes digger, one after another.

    Sometimes we don’t even know why we go down each hole. The hole itself has become the point.

    Do you find yourself going down rabbit holes?

    There must be a name for this problem.

  3. RSS Readers I Recommend

    So far I have tried 2 apps for managing and reading RSS feeds, I can recommend either of them without any issues.

    Neither is perfect, but it is more about philosophy than being technically weak.

    1. NetNewsWire

    This is very old and based on what I know it’s the OG RSS reader, very practical, 3 column design. I use it on Mac and iPhone, works great.

    1. Current

    This is a new one I found a few days ago. Overall it has a different design, instead of treating feeds as emails or messages, it treats them as streams.

    And feeds naturally fade over time at different rates.

    Interesting concept, and it actually tries to redesign the decade old 3 column design.

    I actually alternate between these 2 right now. Hard to say which one I prefer.
