Everyone is yelling. But what we really need is clarity over volume. Online. In real life. In comment sections. In podcasts. In captions. Everybody has a take. A side. An opinion. A reaction. And somewhere along the way, we started believing that being loud meant being powerful. It doesn’t. Loud is easy. Clear is rare….
I Wrote Built to Finish Because Ideas Weren’t My Problem I’ve never struggled with ideas. But sometimes, knowing how to finish projects is the real challenge. If anything, ideas have been the easy part. Too easy. And that is why learning to actually finish projects, not just start them, became important for me. Notes apps…
Motivation is unreliable. It shows up when you’re excited about a new project. It carries you through the first few days, maybe even the first few weeks. Then it disappears.
