Honestly the spreadsheet is key, not for the numbers but to prove you showed up. That daily grind Jason mentioned is just building a habit when nobody's watching. The change isn't really about getting better at the work, it's about trusting the process even when it feels stupid. You stop needing each email to win and just treat it like a system. That's when you stop getting worn down, because you're not emotionally invested in every single try.

My phone screen feels like a flashlight to the face after midnight. I tried those blue light glasses but they just made me look like a confused librarian. What's the point if you still can't read anything?

It's like every fancy hotel lobby now, right?

Noticing I've started holding things far away to read them... and I'm only in my thirties. Bad design is making me feel older than I am.

They've always been modern, just different cuts.
