One Habit I Quit After Recovering From Burnout
Chasing a fancy title broke me. For a long time, I believed my career was the most important part of my life. I chased titles like Software Architect or Staff Engineer at my last full-time job. But I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. After a couple of years, the honeymoon was over. Work felt like a burden, and I thought a new role would spice things up. When I discussed the chances of a promotion with my boss’s boss, I was told “You could build any role you want.” But all my ideas we...
One Simple Tip for a Calm and Steady Life (From 2 Sleepless Nights)
If it drains you, cut it out. After two days without sleep, I almost collapsed. I had forced myself to make money online and quit my day job. For that, I started on a social media platform and challenged myself to grow it by leaving 1 post, 10 likes, and 5 comments every day. Within days, I pressured myself to scroll faster and longer, to leave more likes and more comments. All the contradictory advice only made things worse. “Find a niche,” “Don’t find a niche,” “Sell digital products,” “Star...
The Piece of Advice that Helped Me Reclaim My Sanity (I Was So Anxious I Woke Up Every Night)
The wrong habits can destroy your body and your sanity. For two days, I woke up in the middle of night and couldn’t get back to sleep. My mind was rushing with countless thoughts. Deep breathing didn’t work. Relaxing sounds didn’t work either. My body felt tired, but my mind refused to rest. Those days, I had started on Substack. To grow my followers and subscribers count, I scrolled down the “For you” feed to hit a daily goal of likes and comments. That routine broke me after a few days. I im...
How My Third Week On Substack Went (A Change in My Plan)
For this week, I had planned to leave 5 comments and 10 likes daily. But I changed my plan. Substack “For-you” feed doesn’t energize me, just like any other social platform. After a few days of engaging for growth, I noticed how my energy was depleting and my anxiety raising. It was again a junkie. I felt the pressure of growing and making money, even after a few weeks. That’s why I decided to schedule all my notes and posts, and return after 1 week. The same plan I follow for LinkedIn. Here’...
Don't Hit Publish If You Miss This Rule
Nobody wants to read about the successful being successful. That’s a bad story. James Altucher, one of the writers I’ve stolen from, shares not to be heroes, but vulnerable. Our struggles make our stories more relatable. He has a rule: if it doesn’t make you scared, don’t hit Publish. I probably read it in Choose Yourself Stories. In 10 Simple Ideas That Changed My Life, I wrote about my burnout episode, my stomach issues, and, even bits of my dating life. For a moment, I regretted sharing tha...
