Day 126 - Flywheel of life https://golifelog.com/posts/flywheel-of-life-1620283657690

Spent 15min on Twitter to provide value in replies

Need to timebox Twitter engagement time during the day!

Day 125 - Work-life flywheel https://golifelog.com/posts/work-life-flywheel-1620194616522

Reframe “work-life balance” to “work-life flywheel” instead.

Because really, you want the different goals and aspects of your life to form a flywheel, spinning in synergy and giving momentum to one another, rather than being compartmentalised and separated.

So in a work-life flywheel, you generate a sort of virtuous cycle of momentum where one thing props up and amplifies the other.

A multiplier effect, a positive sum game.

🤑 Got a $35 gig for updating a Carrd landing page. Not much, but my first Upwork gig for a start!

Scheduled writing prompts for the day tweets till 30 Jun! That's quite a good runway for me to research and write a whole bunch more!

Scheduled 20 days worth of writing prompts for the day on Twitter

Good thing about using the native scheduler on Twitter, there's no link showing that you scheduled it.

Haha. Hmmm maybe read these first for timeless foundational knowledge, then build on with the tactical stuff for biz and community building. That way the house of your knowledge won't be shaky. YMMV though.

Day 122 - Say it till you ooze it https://golifelog.com/posts/say-it-till-you-ooze-it-1619922575271

From "We’ll see” to “Let’s find out”
From “I’ll achieve this goal” to “I’ll learn my way towards this goal”
From "I’ll do these things to achieve this goal”, say "I’m the type of person who do these things" .

Using my goals as a reference:
“Get $5k MRR” to “I’m the type of indie hacker who can earn $5k”
“Sleep early to get enough rest” to “I’m the type of person who loves going to bed early”
“Wake up at 4am” to “I’m the type of person who relishes in waking up early at 4am”
“Learn how to code” to “I’m a developer, who enjoys coding.”
“I’ll write daily” to “I’m a writer, who write everyday”
“Steal back curiosity” to “I’m a naturally curious person.”

It’s not “Fake it till you make it”, but “Say it till you ooze it”.
