    Haha sorry, it's just I hear "Jordan Peterson" and I'm immediately reminded of politics and want to be sick :D I've recently started doing something similar where I clarify where I want to be by a set date and exactly what it's going to look like and how I'm going to get there. Every morning...

    I'm so tired of anything political, I wish there was a way to block it all across the internet. I could not give a flying F*ck about it, from either side.

    What Countries and Places Offer the Best Life Quality?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yep, you can get some awesome cheap flights into cheap countries and live 2 weeks there, come back, stay long enough to get depression from the weather (enough to want to leave anyway), and jet off again :D I was really down a few weeks ago when I realized that if I were to stay in London, I'd...

    What Countries and Places Offer the Best Life Quality?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hey, also in London. I also agree that it's a great city with a lot to do but... the cost is insane. And the weather gives me severe depression for most of the year. I'm considering having my "main base" here in London, but living in cheaper/hotter places around the world every month or so.

    It's getting a few downloads a day and occasionally a subscription. I'm satisfied with it given that I do no marketing except for linking to it from my main app.

    I've decided to pay an agency to check my code for any issues and refactor it. As I have little iOS dev experience, I know my code is quite bad in places and I'm having nightmares of my app breaking or the database f*cking up. I need peace of mind. If my goal really is millions of users, the app...

    Realized I need to start accepting more help for my app. I've made significant improvements in UI and features. I've learned about marketing and other non-dev aspects in this field. But I'm not an expert and I know that I am blowing money that I shouldn't be when I attempt to do things by myself...

    What problems do you have on a daily basis?

    Crippling social anxiety. If I have to go anywhere where there's gonna be a lot of socializing (party, work meeting) I dose up on meds till I can't feel anything. Only happens once or twice a month so not physically addictive, but the feeling of not feeling anxiety is the best thing in the...

    I'm cross promoting my apps, so every app links to my other ones. I used to promote my app on reddit through messaging people, reaching out on Twitter, and so on. But I found that FB ads gave the most amount of users, and were the best use of my time. I'm still unsure on content marketing. It...

    Making some money with the app, but it's either a few $$ below how much I'm spending on advertising (so no profit), or it equals the amount I spend. A bit demotivating. It's difficult to make effective FB ads because FB doesn't like you sounding too "personal" in your ads so users don't feel...

    Occasionally some money comes in when a user's trial ends and that makes me happy. But it's not the app that's making me depressed, it's just other things in my life that are affecting my productivity.

    Made some major updates to my app recently, going to be refining my ads today and tomorrow so I can get sales increasing again. Past few months have been terrible for me. My mental health is so bad it's scary. I've been unproductive as F*ck. I'm already depressed and lonely, and the bad...

    Introverts vs Extroverts (The forum is mostly introverts?)

    So far Facebook ads have been working very well for me. Though this is for an iOS app. I shill this guide everywhere, but if you want to get into FB ads, I recommend this so much: Growth Marketing Guide: Advanced Tactics and Hacks It goes into all growth hacking methods, but the FB ads part is...

    Introverts vs Extroverts (The forum is mostly introverts?)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I am an extreme introvert -- all quizzes give me the same "INTJ" personality type. Though I do like the company of other people, I just prefer to do my own things the way I like them, and I hate compromising.

    Decided to quit my job by mid-December. It's an easy job and I make good money for the amount of work I do but it leaves me too tired and stressed to work on my app. I'm risking a lot but I can't continue like this. I don't give a shit about my boss's business and they're dropping people like...

    Pretty much any place is cheaper to rent than London. Though for everything else I find it's quite affordable (unless you're in the city centre).

    Thanks!! I'm focused on making this app succeed. I've had some fleeting ideas for new apps but I've stayed loyal to this one because it has the most potential. I sometimes feel down that I haven't made much money yet but... to think that last year exactly at this time I was jotting down ideas...

    Yeah, I think if you put your head down and work relentlessly, the focus and work you'll be able to get done on your own will be worth it. Do you work full-time/in an office job? Or remote? The Netherlands is just as expensive as London though, right? Funnily enough I'm in Bristol right now...

    Oh nice, that's near Kingston right? I went to school around there. I'm even further in the outskirts, around Hillingdon. Flats are the same price, and this isn't even a nice one-bed. I actually found some very neat flats near Ealing, tiny but perfect, but then found out they were only for...

    Thanks! Glad to hear it looks better. I see you're in London too, what part? What rent amount are you looking to pay? I feel like being sick when looking at how little I can afford here.
