You know that feeling you get when you just have way too much to do? I had that bad today.
It forced me to take a hard look at my priorities, & I made a tough realization.
I'm tryna to do way too much. As a result, I'm not doing anything well.

I currently have 3 projects I'm kind of more or less working on. MVS, Tweet Capsule, and Charttt.
They've all got their backstories, but 1 thing's for sure. I can't realistically give all 3 the attention they need.
I have a full time job, & I'm no machine like some of you here.

Lately, I haven't been a very good husband.
I haven't been motivated to do much on Charttt.
I've done some stuff on Tweet Capsule, but it's in starts & spurts.
On MVS, it's better but my cofounder @Natalie_Furn's really leading the charge.
Something needs to change

So what gives?
I don't want to be known as someone who quits things, but honestly spreading myself thin and being shitty at a bunch of stuff is worth nothing.
None of those things will ever go anywhere.
Focusing on one thing, and giving it my all seems like the better path.

And so, here it is.
I've hit pause on Charttt and Tweet Capsule, & going all in on MVS with @Natalie_Furn.
In true #buildinpublic fashion, this is the 1st time she'll have heard this
Why MVS? I believe in it the most. The project, the team, the #nocode space, the trend.

This really shouldn't be a hard decision. It's not like those other projects were making money.
But it still is. It's always hard to quit something that you've committed yourself to.
It makes me feel like a quitter. I've let myself down. I've let others down. I've let you down.

I think this is the right decision tho for me.
With all my focus & energy on MVS, I can finally move at the same speed as Nat, & together we'll be able to move a lot faster & get a lot more done
No more dragging along in the back. Two engines, both full speed ahead!

An important bonus: I'll have time to focus on my relationship as well.
As I told my wife recently, it would be utterly pointless to "successfully" achieve our dream life, only to realize that the relationship we once had has been broken and lost in the process.
That'd be sad.

So yeah, I guess my biggest takeaway that I'll leave you with:
If you're feeling overextended or overwhelmed, re-evaluate your priorities & figure out what's actually important for you. And do that. Focus is good.
What do you think? I welcome any & all thoughts!
