I think it can be more or less exhausting though. My attitude from the beginning: “how do I not burn out”. My answer was to go slower and follow my curiosity. Over the last 8 years I’ve seen 75%+ stop doing their creative stuff. It’s sort of shocking how many quit. I think you get a lot of survivors that thrive on discipline. And then a lot who end up not actually defining their strategy. I think going “with the grain” can actually be the most exhausting then in the sense you’re just copying people around you (eg “ship every week,” / “gotta use this platform etc”). Generally if you are searching for a unique path you need to experiment with weird and sometimes random strategies that may hve higher odds of succeeding for you.
I actually think you do this well. I’ve never seen someone do that digest / log you did. And then you decided to stop doing it. That meta approach(“try stuff”) will basically win and survive over time.
Aw thanks Paul. Have been learning to listen to my “nope, not feeling it” gut more, which now that I think about it makes sense to develop because there are 23480 tips out there in the internet but only 1-2 will work for any person
