    What are some indicators that you are ready to quit your 9-5 job?

    MINDSET 
    This is *really* great advice. Make sure you follow it. Currently suffering from 2 of the red flags mentioned: the unfocused problem (a.k.a. Shinny object syndrome), and partially from burn out after working non-stop with almost no breaks or freeing myself from the "guilt" of not working and...

    Software dev w/no domain experience... what to do?

    Hey, another software dev here. Man, this is the most exciting era to be a software developer. The technology is better than ever (although there are still many things to improve!) and you can just focus on building things and solving problems, instead of building tech. I understand why you...

    Is writing a book fast lane?

    HOT! 
    Well, that sounds much better than the situation 6 months ago :) I think I need to do more research on my own, I'm clearly lacking understanding of the current platforms/situation. Different people say I'm actually an ok writer (at least not a terrible one), which is a good start for a software...

    Is writing a book fast lane?

    HOT! 
    That's unfortunate... I was reading HFR's and @ChickenHawk 's threads and the whole thing sounded like a lot of work but quite rewarding (shipping books regularly) and possible to make money. But it seems like those good days in 2013 are gone... I was really thinking about spending a few months...

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    This was an AMAZING post. The best thing is that it not only applies to writing books, but many other kinds of "content creation".

    Do I Have To Sacrifice My Close Family Relationships?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I wonder what's the point in removing one of the pillars of happiness, which is family, to get another one, which is financial wealth. Building a business is hard work, not going into self-imposed misery.

    "You can't break tackles at marathon pace"

    Hi Andy, this is quite interesting indeed.. Would it be possible for you to give us a concrete example? Something like what do your sprints look like in terms of work load, duration and purpose, and the same thing for your rest time. Or any other way to put a real-world example. I think this...

    How can someone work every waking hour???

    HOT! 
    I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure sleeping 3 hours every night for a long period leads to, at least, serious health problems. In some extreme cases, the lack of sleep leads to plain death (mentioned on Learning How To Learn course on Coursera). If you want to be an entrepreneur and play the...

    16 years old enterpreneur losing motivation.

    RANT 
    Haha just what I thought when I first read his message. @Runjie Chen Starting is difficult. Once you get your first couple of clients (which can even be for free, to get some experience), things will work out. Imagine when you need to get your first job as an employee, it's usually difficult...

    Ok, so just a typical burn out cycle. See you again when you recover from that.

    Depressed by wasted time with 0 accomplishment

    INTRO 
    I think @AgainstAllOdds has given you the recipe. It's easy to keep reading and reading, and you would never finish in 10 lives. It's ok to read to change your mindset, but once that's done (and given your quote above I want to think so), only read what you need to learn next. Use your greatest...

    I had a brief look at this (long) thread and I just have to say: this is TRULY inspirational and very well deserved. Thank you so much for sharing :)

    After using this system for a few days, I sort of answered the questions I had above. I share my current board. I've adapted the original one to my needs. I use it for both my projects (mostly video games these days) and personal stuff (most of it related to my projects as well). I renamed...

    Action Faker to Action Taker

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I still have that mindset of working a daily job (say a minimum of 8 hours a day), and it's taking me some time to change it now that I have all day to work on my things (even if I do stuff almost every single day). This also arose from the need of tracking...

    EXECUTION 
    Hi @bytecode how long are your pomodoros/breaks? I'm currently doing 25/5, but I might increase it to 45/10. For coding, sometimes I feel that 25 is a bit short (depending on the task). Also, probably a stupid question, but do you ladies and gents count the short breaks when tracking time? I...

    Thanks @LightHouse, this looks really useful. It's great that you took the time to explain your system. I tried other systems in the past, specially Trello boards, but I had a few problems: Too many ideas/projects/goals that never get started. Literarily dozens of them, which stressed me out...

    If you're a musician, you're definitely an entrepreneur!

    It's great that you can pursue what you love while still make a living and, who knows, maybe go fastlane. I would just be aware of the overcrowded market. There are tons of bands out there, but people only have a limited amount of time to listen to music, so you need to be among the best to...
