However final 12 months, with out planning it, I received drained and stopped. Undecided why. It did not correspond with any life occasions. Nothing fascinating or notable occurred. I simply stopped.
I did discover pleasure on TikTok and amassed a small group of like-minded followers there. I take pleasure in my YouTube as properly, and my weekly podcast goes robust with almost 900 (!) episodes of interviews with cool folks.

I gave many talks over a few years about Private Productiveness however I all the time talked about doing what “feeds your spirit.” For a minute right here the weblog took a backseat, and that is OK. I crammed that (spare) time with household time, private initiatives, writing extra code, 3d printing, video games, taekwondo, and a ton of different issues.
