2020: ok i will launch my project this year
2021: ok i will launch my project this year

The problem is, you think you have time.

I realised the best indication that you have enough restful sleep isn’t when you wake, but during the day. If I didn’t feel sleepy during the day or need naps, that means sufficient restful sleep.

- feeling more comfortable in my Twitter skin these days, been trying more straightforward tweets than overly-crafted witty ones. Seems to be working!
- need to GET ON with batch writing tweets for the whole week!

I’d been sampling many twitter scheduling tools lately - Typefully, Threadstart, Black Magic, tld.rip, Typeshare.

After using these tools on my own tweets over the past few months, I’m starting to have my own preferences on what a Twitter scheduling tool should do for me.

Here’s my feature list wish for my ultimate Twitter scheduler...

Crazy never got more than 80k impressions before!

I just set a goal called Mind My Millions to develop good money habits and mindsets.

To make my learning more intentional, I’m going to do a #30daysofmoney challenge.

The endgame at the end of 30 days is to implement:
• A millionaire habit system
• A system for managing money
• A plan for investing

Each day for 30 days, I will apply and act on ONE tip or lesson, to make it real. 1% compounding streak ftw.

Will also write about my learnings here on Lifelog - not daily though. Probably weekly, but no fixed day that will happen. I want to let the lessons unfold naturally instead of forcing it.

I also started a Mind My Millions Telegram chat group (https://t.me/+0bferhGepMljZDRl) to make the learning experience more social by posting the one tip, and also to learn from others. Planning to invite folks who I want to learn from to it. It’s all part of leveraging on social accountability, social influence, collective wisdom and a way to shift identity by immersing in the wealth subculture.

I felt inspired today and set a new goal. One that’s been a long time coming. Better now—in 2022—than never.

It’s called Mind My Millions, a goal to develop good money habits and mindsets, for wealth to enter my life.

I need to get more serious about my money habits. I need to learn more about managing money, making money, investing, allocating capital.

Some open questions going into this new goal:

• How do I attract abundance?
• What’s a millionaire mindset?
• How do I generate and keep wealth?
• How do millionaires manage money?
• How can I automate my money habits?
• What money habits and systems do millionaires have?
• What are some things millionaires do that the mainstream don’t?
• How do I spend money made from money, instead of money made from time?
• What counter-mainstream narratives do millionaires have for saving, investing, real estate, stocks, crypto?
• What do I need to learn about the money industrial complex (tax, accounting, finance laws) that 99% of people don’t know or understand?

To make it more specific and targeted, I’m going to do a #30daysofmoney challenge. Need to think through this more tomorrow.

Any other money habits and mindsets I should add to the list?

Wordle is a static site. The source code is public.

New York Times could have cloned Wordle over a weekend.

Yet they just acquired it for 7 figures.

Moral of the story?

Your code doesn't matter.

- repurpose content from Twitter to IG, TikTok, LinkedIn. Just screenshot and post them. Takes just a few min!

- advice to focus on 1 platform makes sense in the early days. But once you got content flywheel going, time to repurpose. The sooner the better.

- started using coloured circles instead for MRR progress bar on Twitter profile. More stand out!

- fastest way to repurpose a tweet: by screenshoting it, white highlighter to white out other elements, and post right away on IG

- often the simplest and most mundane of tweets do the best

You hear this advice a lot on Writing Twitter:

It’s better to write clearly than to be clever.

Clever is about being an attention-seeker.
Clear is about being a great communicator.

The funny thing is, everything I said above about clear vs clever writing might as well be true for career, goals, life, and everything in between.

Clear > clever.

Unlikely life advice from writing, right there.

- manually tweeted out each tweet in a long thread, with 1 min delay in between. Apparently, the algorithm doesn't like it when sending an entire thread in one go (looks like spam perhaps?). Trying the 1 min delay to see if it helps. https://twitter.com/jasonleowsg/status/1489146720109928451

- I need a unifed swipe file that selectively pulls links from Twitter Bookmarks, Telegram saved messages, FB, IG, Chrome, Overcast (or any podcast app)

- I get more unfollows when posting threads. Interesting pattern to observe. Are threads over-done now? To the point that it turns off some people?

- I either don't write threads, or I write 2 threads in 1 day 🔥🤣❄️

- If I'm gonna write threads, I better start having a collection of my best threads. Looks like time to start a page on www.threadsby.me

It’s been a year of biohacking sleep! It’s been a crazy ride:

Milestones
• Set my biohacking sleep goal here on 4 Jan 2021
• Started sleep tracking on 3 Feb, posting on Twitter for accountability
• Discovering coffee naps was a gamechanger
• First 3 months was pure struggle - frequent 60-70% scores
• Started 4am wake on 25 Apr
• Month 4 to 6 was about settling into it - more 70% scores
• Got my first >90% sleep score on 7 Jul
• Created “5am creators”, the 5am club for creators as a Telegram chat group on 14 Aug
• Hit 99% sleep score on 25 Dec
• Wrote about the 10 lessons I learned from biohacking sleep on my 10th month.
• Sleeping in my own room
• Stabilising at ~80% scores
• Chronotype change is complete

- get comfortable with punchy short 2-3 liner tweets. High info/insight density!
- had to manually RT at night 9:30pm just before bed due to wanting to leverage on Alt Text feature on Typefully which tldrip didn't have. I need a tool that does it ALL!
-

Continuing with starting slow, setting out to do ONE thing for each project in Feb:

Core goals
• Hit $200 MRR
• Plugins For Carrd: Launch 1 new free plugin
• Lifelog: Fix 1 bug.

Side quests
• Look for 1 boring product/sweaty startup. This is to help with my revenue goals, and to make the transition to fulltime indie hacking more sustainable.

Health
• Sleep biohacking: Set up my Moona. Btw I hit 1 year of sleep biohacking tomorrow!
• Fit AF: Recover 100% from injury, continue twice-weekly sunrise slow jogs.

Forwards, to Feb!

- crawl past daily posts for weekly thread ideas on Twitter - repurpose!
- is there a way to categorize bookmarks, and then after bookmarking say 10 tweets of one category, make a thread out of it? tldrip allows for walled bookmarks..
- don't just tweet axioms, also building in public stuff. What's something interesting I did this week? Marketing, developing, systems. Or something I'm thinking about for my products, questions I have...

Revenue:
• MRR: US$120 (all from Lifelog)
• One-off revenue: ~ US$4.08

Reflections
• Twitter and Lifelog went well. The trajectory—more than the target—speaks for itself.
• But it was a mentally tough month of resting. I rested physically but mentally I was restless. I don’t feel recharged and refreshed at all.
• My body caught up with me. I injured myself by standing too long on one foot while using the standing desk, resulting in Achilles tendonitis.
• My spiritual teacher passed away, adding to the general low this month.
• Tl;dr - not rested, and not ready.
