It's just the usual end of post that I use. I've been blogging for quite some time already; more as a relaxing activity than anything; I do like sharing what I learn about.

I do try to monetize what I write, but it won't make me rich anyways ^^.

The book doesn't distract me from the startup project; it's just another project, to which I dedicate two evenings a week and a few hours during the week-end.

It's important to me for other reasons; mostly the will to share what I do know about, and the need to think about something else.

I couldn't work on the startup project also during those evenings/week-ends. I don't want to be in burnout state just because I was able to pour in more hours each week.

Question of equilibrium. Maybe I would've done that ten years ago, but not today.




Regarding the stress, I manage to isolate things in my life well enough to keep going; otherwise I'd already be crawling in my bed crying ;-)

I'm still employed, have no worries about my capacity to find a new job should everything else fail, and my family hasn't been hurt too badly by Covid so far. So I can't complain.

I'm stressed about the project and where I'm going, but not about life in general. I still have tons of energy, motivation, will, and projects :)
