Not tweets. Not takes. Just timestamped thought punches from deep in the build. Unfiltered momentum logs, written mid-sprint. Half-finished ideas with real weight. The kind you feel in your gut, not your feed.
Remote life isn’t lonely. It’s a rhythm. Move cities, meet strangers, build in cafés - you stop getting stuck. New places = new ideas. New friends = fresh energy. Solo doesn’t mean static. It means freedom and learning how to enjoy it.
Left London for a seaside village in Crete. Found peace, focus, sun. But then I missed something deeper than city noise. Not the weather. The buzz. The chaos that fuels ambition. The collisions that create momentum. Turns out: the dream life isn’t always the one that moves you.
Before you build anything, talk to people. Ask what’s broken. Pitch the fix. If no one cares, stop. Code won’t save a bad idea. Start with the pain. Sell it first. Then build - fast, cheap, and only when someone’s ready to pay. That’s how real startups start.
What’s your Plan B? Your boss has one. Your company has five. But you? Just one job, one income, and no leverage. Don’t wait for the next layoff memo to realise you need a backup. Security isn’t a salary — it’s ownership. Start building now.
Routine isn’t boring. It’s a survival system. Mine starts with a walk, then deep work, then real food. Same beats. Every day. Chaos kills clarity. If you’re building without rhythm, you’re burning time. Want results? Stop chasing variety. Start honouring repetition.
You hired a developer, got an app, and no users. Congrats - you built a ghost town. Developers don’t care if it works, only if it’s “done.” They ship specs, not traction. You don’t need a coder. You need a savage co-pilot who argues, tests, and builds only what gets clicked.
Remote work sold you “freedom” - now you’re working Sundays in sweatpants. No commute, no cut-off. Just blurred lines and burnout in HD. Peace of mind > Paycheck. Simplicity > Status. Set your own metrics or die by someone else’s. Success isn’t a salary. It’s space.
Most MVPs don’t die from bad code - they die from bad timing. Founders drop £40k on builds with no proof, no plan, no users. What they call progress is just expensive procrastination. Validate first, or your product will end up where most do: forgotten in a Google Drive folder.
Remote work sold you freedom - then stole your off switch. No rush hour, but now it’s Slack at midnight and Zoom on Saturday. Flexibility without boundaries is just burnout in disguise. Draw the line, or lose the plot. Working remote is amazing, if it's done right.
Remote work isn’t freedom. It’s friction management. Anyone can pack light - but staying lethal on the move? That takes serious systems. Most people trade capability for convenience and wonder why their output suffers. Portability means nothing if your setup can’t keep up.
