You don’t lack time.

You waste it scrolling, bingeing, playing video games.

Then you have the audacity to call it "unwinding".

Own that first.

That's an awesome achievement.

Curios: How did you go from DR15 to DR47 in one day on Aug 26th. Is it just a bug with frogdr ?

I implore you:
Take the risk.
Build your dream life.
Or regret it forever.
🧵7/7

In reality those risks aren’t bigger than losing your job.
🧵6/7

Everyone has skills that could earn more.
The only question: will you risk it?
🧵5/7

The math is simple:
If I don’t take the risk, I lose 20 years of my life.

Then a freelancer told me:
“If you go solo, you’ll make 3x more. You’ll earn in 10 years what would take you 30 in a job.”
🧵3/7

When I started, I knew the end clients were paying $10K+ per month for my work.
I was getting cents on the dollar.
🧵2/7

I went from corporate slave -> $20k/month freelancing
All it took was a mindset change.

Remember: procrastination and discipline isn't a one-off thing

It's something you struggle and fight against all the time

KEEP GOING

that's exactly the addiction I want

Are you an imposter?

Do you feel like one?

Work harder.

Don't just "do enough".

Outwork all your colleagues.

Not by putting in more hours.

But by optimizing and automating.

Eliminate all distractions and bullshit meetings.

Be ruthless with your time. This is the fix.

Exactly. I wish I could get more people to understand this.

They are being loyal to a job that would replace them with AI or cheaper workers with the first opportunity they got.

Stop polishing features you don't sell.

Lock in for 90 minutes: code, test, ship.

Use AI to shave hours off execution, not to invent reasons to procrastinate.

Build in public only after you can demo value.

Ship value > look busy.

For me it's either:
- during or after hitting the gym
- in my sleep (in which case I write them down in a google doc if I remember them when I wake up)

Facts. Most people blame the email copy, when the real killer is garbage data.

Clean list = half the battle won.

Simple, but deadly accurate.

Too many people chase ‘cool ideas’ instead of painful problems. Solve what hurts (for people who can pay), and the business builds itself.

Exactly.
Nobody’s paying you for “clean architecture”

They’re paying you for solved problems.
Tech is the vehicle, not the value.

Facts.

Too many confuse motion with momentum.
A real business isn’t built on ideas or MVPs, it’s built on systems that scale.

💯

The right mastermind feels like a mix of boardroom + therapy session.

Keeps you sharp and sane.

Facts.

Isolation tricks you into thinking you’re “figuring it out,” but really you’re just slowing yourself down.

The right conversations save months of trial and error.

That hard problem at work everyone avoids? Take on it, put everything you got into it, you will get it done.

If you can convince yourself that IT MUST BE DONE, you will find a way to do it.

🧵3/3

That job interview? So what if you fail it, you can retry in a couple of months, or you can try another company (quick tip, there's thousands)

That startup idea? So what if it fails, you can try another idea. Either way you'll learn a lot that can be applied to other parts of your life.
🧵2/3

STOP SAYING "TOMORROW"
STOP SAYING "NEXT WEEK"
THAT’S HOW YOU LOSE YEARS

Procrastination is the most expensive thing in your life.

Not doing something today because "you don't feel like it" or "you don't think you're ready" is stupid

🧵1/3

Getting close to the launch of one of my SaaS projects.

Just got wrongfully banned on X while testing my integration with X login.

And since that's where I plan to get most of my organic traffic, it sort of hurts(even if I get unbanned).

But I keep going because I truly believe in the idea

My productivity went 10x when I started using multiple models + different SaaS AI products

92% of people will waste today.

Not because they lack talent.
Not because they lack opportunity.
But because they’ll procrastinate it away.

If you're reading this thinking "that’s not me"...
it probably is.

Stop lying to yourself.
Do the work

I just joined but yes, it feels a bit slower.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing if the interactions you do have are more authentic and actually lead to your desired outcome.

is this the modern day Rorschach test?

Looks awesome.

Are you doing some sorts of AI Analysis and providing insights to the user based on his entries? Like advices on how to stick to his healthy activities and such?
