It's been over a month since I went full time on @100daysnocode.
I haven't quite found my rhythm or my mojo yet, so I wanted to share 3 lessons I've learnt navigating this new exciting but unfamiliar terrain

1/ Sh*t feels + gets more real
It's not just a fun side project.
You start asking more existential questions.
Every decision feels more weighty.
You start to see only the bad, never the good.
Tip: be around positive people, otherwise you'll end up in a negative spiral.

2/ More time ≠more work/productivity
If you're not careful, you'll fall victim to Parkinson's Law i.e. work expands to fill the time allotted.
Don't let it.
Use it preciously.
Tip: start timeboxing your day, otherwise time will take control of you.

3/ Doing more work ≠better outcomes
Sales may be slow, you can't fix *that* one dang problem ect...
But you're working full time now, so you *better* sort it and chuck more time at it, right?
No.
Tip: take a break, do something different and don't feel guilty recharging.

These are all things I've struggled with since going full time, so I hope this is useful for anyone in a similar spot.
Bottom line: yes, going full time means more is on the line, but don't let that pressure override the one thing you need to fly...
