I’ve looked at Hunter S. Thompson’s Daily [[Log]] dozens of times, only when reading it to aloud to someone on our team did I notice the witching hour where he takes his first cup of ☕️

4:95
It took Hunter 9 hours of preparation before he was ready to write for 6.

Then 2.5 hours of come-down and 6.5 hours of sleep before he began the cycle again.

Are you producing better work than he?
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

You ever been in that situation where the Pope recommends you some Norm MacDonald, and you fall asleep laughing, thinking - “man this guy has to be the best comic alive right now”

What is the best essay/video/blog-post explaining this in-depth
It's how I've learned pretty much everything I've learned, and I touch on it here - but I think it's more assumed background context than anything stated explicity.

Build Small Skills in the Correct Sequence says it explicitly

Think I got the idea originally from @tferriss - if so, don't remember where though

Recorded a 15 minute video to introduce folks on our team to some concepts that hopefully connect tasks their doing in training to the short and medium term vision, one of them told me "Feel like I get Roam now" and "You could just release this"

So...🤷‍♂️🙏
It's just 1 take of me drawing and talking

But perfect is the enemy of the good, [[good enough]] is the enemy of [[At All]] - and sometimes the hideous rough cut you release just to have SOMETHING ends up landing with people

See @mekarpeles doing this..

On that note - if you'd like to see a video from three years ago, where 90% of it is about stuff we still haven't even really started building yet, I just made the video @mekarpeles cites public

How ridiculous would it be if we made @RoamResearch free if you were ONLY using it from the mobile app?
Honestly it makes sense to me. Desktop is where I do my serious work, phone is where I jam with others.
