Day 355: q&a

answers to questions i get asked on a daily basis:

why did you come to taiwan?

for fun. also coronavirus.

how long are you planning to stay?

no idea.

when people insist that i must have some idea, i tell them it’ll most likely be somewhere between several months to a year. it’s hard for me to get more specific than that because i don’t plan things beyond like a week or a month in advance. i also have no idea how life will unfold here and i don’t have any time-sensitive reason to go back to the states, so who knows how long i’ll be here

what do you do for work?

i make tech products around productivity and mindfulness.

some people ask if i’m doing a startup and i say no because a startup implies hyper growth and i’m just trying to start a business

some people ask if i’m a freelancer and i say no because i don’t have clients

i think people assume that i’m making a living off of my work but that is absolutely not true because i’ve been focusing on building and not selling (and in general have hang ups about asking people for money that i need to work on)
