Monk mode

I feel this!! Congrats, I know we’re supposed to build in public and build an audience, but I can’t handle all the voices in my head, I have to withdraw, build, come back and share when I’ve found something. Looking forward to hearing how you work out monk mode. I’m with you at least! I know it’s super dangerous to build into a corner where you don’t have users… I just have to do it sometimes.

Now you know why i regularly disappear from the face of the earth 🙂

for the past few months i have been in 90% MonkMode every day.

gasp finally ready to give up the Church of TwiX?

@lukehollis Agree! Maybe if your users are not on X it makes it easier. But sometimes just have to take a break to do the interesting stuff

@poppacalypse Nice. What’s drawing you into it? A particular project?

@therealbrandonwilson Nope not giving up entirely. It’s still valuable for being ahead on trends, and showing edgey ideas. Just need a break and focus on my own needs.

@jasonleow Not one in particular, but there are goals I want to achieve. Broad categories are in: learning, building projects, fitness.

Not to mention there are annoying but necesssary Life™ things to do each day like household chores etc., plus need to factor in mental health / wind down time at end of day. Not much time left for socials after all these.
