In 2012 for personal reasons, I was depressed and without the slightest desire to do anything.
What do you we in these difficult moments?
The first thing is to keep ourselves busy, literally with anything.
For example, I got my motorcycle license and started kickboxing
1/11
Then we have to work on ourselves, starting from the basics.
We cannot expect our life to change in one day, but we can decide the direction we want to go in.
Exercising and putting yourself in the best physical condition, is very important and at the basis of everything
2/11
Then comes the plan: having a goal, a big and ambitious purpose.
For me, it was to have my financial independence and buy a house. I did it 2 years later and it was a great moment!
And no worries, your plan will change! But it's good to have one at least to start from.

We need a place to work in peace.
If you don't have it, you should try hard to go in that direction: a friend's house, work when the world is silent, either late night or early morning.
It is not something that happens in a day, but it is a slow process of improvement.

We should think in terms of months and not hours.
If we have rested for 2 hours on the couch we should not feel guilty.
If we have spent many hours on the couch in the last 6 months, it's time to do something about it.
5/11
Understand what works for us.
Not everything works for everyone, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
we need to know and train them both to achieve our goals, especially the uncomfortable weak points.
As we train our bodies, we can train our minds.
6/11
Do what you want. Really.
But find a way to monetize it.
If you want to play games, try to get paid to do that, if you like to make videos, try to get paid to do that. If you like to write books, same.
Turning your passions into dreams is a life hack
7/11
Know when to stop.
Don't do too much in one day.
We overestimate what we can do in one day and underestimate what we can do in a year.
if you are tired rest and continue the next day.
I know this! I fell asleep on the keyboard sometimes during my early days as a coder
8/11
Work on good habits.
My best one is to wake up early and walk 2/3 hours.
I go to bed very early, but I found that I am productive in the morning and lazy in the evening.
I changed my schedule to be more productive
(Yes, I used to sleep and wake up randomly 10 years ago)
9/11
Recap:
- keep yourself busy
- work on yourself
- decide a plan (that will change)
- find the place to work
- think in long-term
- do what works for you
- do what you want (but monetize it)
- know when to stop
- work on good habits
And some luck never hurts.

Here is a thread to summarizes what I have studied so far.

Summary:
· What is a Blockchain
· Blocks
· Resistance to modification
· Secure by design
· Structure
· Verification
· Robust workflow
· Value Exchange protocol
· Layers
· What is a Blockchain
It's a growing list of records (blocks)
The Blocks are linked together using cryptography.
It's described as an immutable data storage:
- trustless
- fully decentralized
- peer-to-peer
- immutable
It's spread over a network of participants (nodes)
Creating Content is not easy, and the reasons are many.
In about a year I have collected the most important BLOCKERS.
I have experienced all of them.
- Lack of time
- Lack of ideas
- Not feeling ready
- Fear of judgment
Here are my short answers to all of them:

Lack of time 1/2
This has always been my favorite excuse.
If we really want to do something you will find the time.
If it ever happened to you, when you fall in love, suddenly you have a lot of free time.
If you really want to create some content, give it the right priority.
Lack of time 2/2
I wanted to start YouTube in 2010.
I released my first video on August 7, 2020.
I've posted 193 videos.
My "secret"? Many videos are of me talking to my friends or people I think are important to the tech world, and I'm really interested in their stories.
