Bjarni Rúnar wrote a blog post on mailpile about burn out. Bjarni said

I care deeply about this project, but it really is too big for one person and I haven’t successfully built a team to support me. That’s not to discount the contributions and efforts of our community, but at the end of the day I’ve been the one responsible for keeping the ball rolling. I review the pull requests, I respond to issues, I file the tax returns, I try to spend your donations wisely… and I write most of the code. Doing this well is a lot of work!

Published on April 13, 2019.

On the previous blog post, I clustered the secrets related to dating and marriage but I left aside the ones about breakup.

You can’t have a book called “101 Secrets For Your Twenties” without a single secret to help people on their love life. Paul Angone wrote a couple of chapters about dating and marriage and I will cover both on the same blog post.

Published on April 11, 2019.

Continue with my notes of Paul Angone’s “101 Secrets For Your Twenties”, another cluster of secrets is about when “you’re in a very intense season or place of questioning”. Paul wrote

But don’t allow loneliness to become isolation.

Don’t pull your head inside your shell thinking only you can protect yourself. Don’t got on a dangerous Great Alaskan Adventurure to live off the land all by yourself. That’s not a search for life, that’s suicide.

101 Secrets For Your Twenties

Published on April 10, 2019.

My best friend Renato recommended me to read Paul Angone’s “101 Secrets For Your Twenties”. The books is, to say the least, very interesting and I read half of it before go to sleep and the other half waiting to board my flight the day after. It covers a variety of topics without clustering them together which helps with the flow of the reading. I bookmarked some of the secrets and I will share it by clustering them together.
