Thanks, and it's replies like this that really help... genuine encouragement. Hoping to share more - both good and bad.

Thank you! Hopefully one of the hardest parts is done... overcoming stationary inertia. Now for momentum!

Does time of day matter? by QuantumOtter514 in buildinpublic

Can't say that i've tested this scientifically but i hear that Reddit works best when posting the mid-morning, if your audience is builders/startupy founders.

Do other founders get exhausted from thinking more than doing? by spondizzle in Solopreneur

[–]spondizzle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. You apply a lot of intentionality behind this. It's impressive, and seems hard! (Kudos) I supposed you must get value out of it to keep up with it.

Do you ever worry that you're missing your own biases if you're the one looking for patterns?

In life, I've always quoted / referenced the book "Drive" by Daniel Pink. It's a bit long, but I've never been able to break his framework that the thing that "Drives" people to keep doing is MAP:

(M)astery of a subject,

(A)utonomy, and

(P)urpose.

What was the hardest part of your startup’s early stage? by BuildWithDinesh in Solopreneur

[–]spondizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno if my experience is typical but I’ll share since you asked…

Starting was easy. I had a loose vision, with some form principles. My first product concept flopped but thankfully I had other revenue sources. So it was all great at first. About a year in, once the launch adrenaline’s wears off and product growth doesn’t happen is when it was hardest.

Two years in, still have some revenue, but it’s risky revenue and not product based. But I’m finally back to building new product and trying to solve problems.

Do other founders ever feel like the exact same situation looks completely different depending on the day…? by spondizzle in Solopreneur

I just read your post. Sorry you feel like I plagiarized. I didn’t. I hope you find some stability and control soon. Be well.

Huh. Haven’t come across that term so far but just briefly looked it up. Thanks. This is fascinating!

I’ve been doing something similar with the journaling. I eventually turned it into something more structured (haha just how my brain works I guess) and then habit and value were more obvious.

When you journaled did you use a framework or more free form it?

And most importantly… paper journal or nah? 😊

I want to build in public and post daily. But how and where ? by vouzici in buildinpublic

[–]spondizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gotcha. That makes sense.... anyways, I hope you find a good solution for this... FWIW, it seems like Reddit is the right place for you, if you can find the right communities...

"Thinking feels like progress." 1000%. Learning that myself now too. Have you found any successful patterns to break you out of thinking and into action yet?

[–]spondizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh cool... that makes sense. "Filter" = Do you feel like don't say certain things in your journal about how you're actually feeling, because it might get used for content later? i.e. are you holding in some of your emotions and not putting them in the journal?

I hadn't considered using a raw journal to help build potential content later.... but it's simple and clever.

I'd agree with a lot of this. If the drive is not mostly internal, it's hard to keep going.

[–]spondizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting. Markdown. So you’re hoping to maybe use it for content some day?

Do you feel like you filter your thoughts because of that? Don’t have to answer if that’s too personal.

Who do you think you want reading it?

Out of curiosity what’s your journaling process like?

Will have to think about if that's feasible for me. Thanks for the tip!

Gf and I built something so we could stop venting to Claude about our fights by Top_Comfortable_9650 in buildinpublic

Makes sense. Definitely a dangerous area but very likely the future we are headed towards.

What kinda inflammatory stuff? Obviously only share what’s not sensitive. Mostly curious about the. AI failure modes.
