For a long time I looked for the answer in the wrong place.
Here it is in short, because you may recognise yourself in it.
I thought the answer was in the next course, the next book, or an even better productivity system.
It wasn't knowledge I was missing. It was self-knowledge.
I worked twelve to fifteen hours a day and still felt I was running in place, while others seemed to pass me with ease.
The constant drive was something I brought from home, not something I chose. When I started to take it apart, for my family's sake too, I slept better, decided with more confidence, and opportunities came more easily.
For a long time a digital product really did need a team: a strategist, a designer and a developer.
Today not every product needs a big team. What matters is knowing which tools to use and how, and who should help build it. I started as a business analyst, moved into UX, and today I also build what I design.
I thought the faster I built, the better.
With AI, things get made at lightning speed. Quality work still takes research, expertise and care: knowing what to build and what not to, what can wait, and how the product will grow. You can build a lot for yourself now, and I'm glad to show you how.
Today I'm working to bring the pace of AI in line with what ancient wisdom has known for a long time: the power of slowing down, respect for your inner rhythm, and knowing yourself first. I draw on the Vedic tradition for it: meditation, and the way I manage my energy.
If you're working nonstop too and something is still missing, maybe you don't need another system. I'm a researcher on this path, and I write from wherever I am on it.
If you'd like to talk about this, and not only about a product, just write.
