2024 Week 5: Personal Updates

So, I haven’t updated my post for about three or four months. One reason is that I’ve discovered once I have an opportunity to focus on something, it’s really challenging to find enough time to write it down. I’ve realized that it’s very difficult to consistently maintain high energy levels. Moreover, it’s really tough to complete building products in a short span of time.

In the past three months, I’ve made progress in several areas. One of these is I got a relatively stable job position, then I launched my indie hacker career. Additionally, I’ve been applying to North American universities for a master’s degree. These tasks have been substantial enough to consume all my energy, leaving me no time to maintain routine activities like writing weekly recaps or handling accounting tasks. I feel quite regretful about this.

Several month ago, I tried to migrate my LinkedIn Profile from China to US, but I account got banned after merge these two accounts.

I lost about all the 300 connections, also connections with certifications and badges.

🤦‍♂️ That’s so bad.

Then later, LinkedIn announced that they quit China market, and I think I could setup a new account.

2023 Week 38: Process or Product

Overview

It takes me too long time to write blogs, so I decided to use another way to write posts.

I would allocate 30 minutes to write a post, and I would not care about the quality of the post, just write it down.

If I found that the quality is not good enough, or there are no more time to express thoughts, I would use other tricks to make it better in next time.
