Note: this is targeted specifically at startup founders. But, same things apply to anyone who’s brave enough to create something from nothing — creators, musicians, physics researchers, etc. I wanna talk about why companies die. And, why most people quit.
great read, I should've seen this back in August when I was experiencing something similar. spent the 1st half of the year grinding almost everyday and had a really nice week long vacation with my family towards the end of June, then I had trouble getting back to full speed on my startup which put me into a bit of a spiral, then we went on another vacation to the same destination for my 20th birthday in the beginning of August and I was convinced I was gonna be able to get back to speed after that but that didn't happen. luckily I was getting exercise and having walks during the evening + decided to learn some ML fundamentals and then finally in september I was able to get out of it completely, not expecting to get into a spiral again but always a good idea to check if I'm in a position to fall into one.

When did I pay for this?
Thanks for this Farza
