1111

I just hit 1111 days of writing on Lifelog!

Only ever going to pass this once, so not going to miss the chance to celebrate this little milestone.

A few thoughts, confessions, and ideas:

• It never gets easier. In fact, I’m still struggling to come up with topics to write about every single day. No kidding. I recall writing this point before in one of my past reflections about writing. And today it’s yet again top of mind.
• The self-questioning of “Why am I doing this?” never goes away. This is especially true on days when I’m super busy, or burned out. What’s the point? But thankfully, the sheer number of that streak nudges me gently ahead. I remind myself of my deep why – to have clarity, to live a reflective life, to let my words teach me. I write for just one more day, sometimes grudgingly. And then after a few days, weeks, months, I’m grateful I pushed through.
• The Time Hop feature on Lifelog is probably the top favourite feature I built last year. It was a daily reminder of why I enjoy writing. To look back and to realise how far I’d come. Or how little. I’m glad for that little feature. And stoked to build more of such on Lifelog.
• Writing for this long is also making me think of the longevity of Lifelog. When I started, I never thought about how long this SaaS will have to last. Now I know, this needs to go for decades. Is my tech stack ready for that kind of lifespan? Not so sure right now. But it does put things into perspective, and for plans for the future.

See you at 2222!
