absolute commitment.
sometimes, flexibility can be a disadvantage. if you limit your options from the start, you'll reduce decision fatigue. absolute commitment also benefits your reputation – you signalize that something is important to you.
adjustments.
«plans are worthless, but planning is everything»
– dwight d. eisenhower
don't overvalue your setup. no plan is perfect. things change.
adjust along the way.
mental accounting.
humans treat money differently, depending on where it comes from. use this to your advantage: budget a certain amount of money each month for unexpected expenses (talking parking tickets, …).
this also applies to time management.
i'm currently reading the great book «the art of the good life» by rolf dobelli. it contains «52 surprising shortcuts to happiness, wealth, and success».
i'm gonna share each of them in a tweet with you as i read it, along with a visual. stay tuned :)
these visuals… 🤯 https://xcancel.com/SmartNonsense/status/1444766107458543627
out of all the fe frameworks/libraries i've tried in the past (vue, react, svelte), @sveltejs has hands down the best tutorial/docs of them all.
really nice to learn essentially all of the relevant parts right there, interactive and in the browser.
seriously considering setting up a blog and start to write more often. this creator economy thing is really fascinating.
TIL about @imbajs, a "full-stack" language for the web.
it's been in development for 6 years and http://scrimba.com uses it for its front- and backend 🤯 i especially like the tailwind-inspired styling syntax.

learning to code is one of the best investments you can make:
relatively low barrier to entry but the possibility to create anything you can imagine right at your fingertips. simply amazing.
since there is a massive update coming to the #hackingwithswiftui course in a month, i think i'm gonna take a longer break from learning it and catch up once the course is being updated. really excited for the new features from iOS 14 & 15! https://xcancel.com/twostraws/status/1431370801719267331

newest purchase: steal like an artist by austin kleon 👨🏻🎨
already through the first couple of chapters and it's pretty great so far.
great quote from the @Nike run club app:
"you won't finish anything that you didn't even start in the first place"
stumbled upon this great post by @traf: https://tr.af/100
3 favs:
• be happy with what you have, while you work for what you want.
• choose consistency over intensity, because consistency compounds.
• there are no million dollar ideas, only million dollar executions.
design progress.
while learning swiftui, i've also learned quite some things about the human interface guidelines. so in addition to designing a few more screens, i've adapted all of them to fit the visual language of ios.
quite satisfied with how it turned out :)
building an app in public. pt II.

advice from the daily stoic 003:
„you can only loose the life you live right now. the present is everything you own.“
🧠
advice from the daily stoic 002:
„everything you own comes with a cost. even if you didn't buy it. even if it just takes up physical (or mental) space.“
🧠
advice from the daily stoic 001:
„all feelings you have, no matter how real, come from the inside, not the outside.“
seriously considering taking part in the #ship30for30 challenge. any experience regarding the course?
experience is important.
but...
it‘s not everything.
just because someone did something for 10+ years doesn‘t mean you should take all their advice for granted. one can also do something the wrong way for 10 years.
just bought @typefullyapp pro after testing it for a few days.
really a great app and very well thought through, especially considering it started „only“ as a side product for @mailbrew.
keep up the good work @linuz90 & @frankdilo ✌🏼

how the pareto principle can be used for almost everything is beyond me.
ex: 20% of an apps features generate 80% of its revenue.
lesson here: prioritization is 🔑
focus is everything. https://xcancel.com/JamesClear/status/1401979132771291138
