Day 458: Mental Space

The most important resource we have isn’t time; it’s attention.

For the past year, much of my attention has been directed towards building Browserflow. I have especially intense periods like the past few weeks where it feels like it’s taking up 90%+ of my mental space.

While this sort of deep immersion is fun, it also comes at a cost. I pay less attention to other things I care about like my relationships, my other hobbies, and engaging with material outside of building product. It feels flattening the rich canvas of human experience exploding with colors into a single black point.

I’m happy to ride this wave of increased motivation and productivity, but I’m also looking forward to being a normal human blob again. The cycle continues.
