Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out because I need advice on making decisions quickly and effectively, especially when time is limited and tasks are complex. I’ve built strong habits and routines to stay disciplined and focused, but I still struggle to apply them in certain situations, particularly while coding and launching my platform.
"What’s the one thing I can do to be on track to achieve my [your goal] in [your time frame], such that by doing it everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?"
However, I often find it very long and heavy — especially when connecting priorities. It works in some situations, but in others it’s just not practical. Almost like a math formula: simple in theory, but much harder to apply in real life.
In fact, while I’m coding, this is my biggest problem. I always have to start with a blank page to rapidly write, correct, and iterate before actually coding. Over time, I built some discipline: I write my interface first, then follow a TDD approach with it. It works like this: write types, write test, code, then iterate.
Here’s what my routine looks like:
After work and on weekends (Saturday and Sunday 6 AM – 8 PM), I work on my product.
During breaks at work, I do quick research.
Early mornings, I dedicate 2 hours to math (I wake up at 3 AM and go to bed at 10 PM sharp).
I train 30–60 minutes daily on weekdays.
I follow a strict vegetarian diet and avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee.
All of this has helped me build strong discipline, but I still struggle to apply the focusing question when there are too many unknowns or when setting deadlines becomes nearly impossible.
I’m sharing all this because I want advice: how do you make decisions quickly, mentally, without overloading yourself? I have very limited time, and I need to optimize as much as possible while coding, learning, and launching my platform.
