Episode Summary by AI

I struggled with the Notion financial dashboard redesign today, chasing a performance issue that turned out to be a single column slowing everything down. The process burned hours, but I ended up with a better structure overall. Frustration aside, I recognized the need to release and improve through user feedback instead of endless polishing. I planned to finish the dashboard, film tutorials, push updates to Mina and Trey, and then go for a five-mile run aiming to beat my last distance record.

Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

• “I think it’s almost more respected and more admirable when people do pause and they think about what they’re going to say as opposed to just word vomiting like I do.”
• “If I spend the next year perfecting this before I sell it, I probably would have gotten much further along and made ten times the product if I would have sold it now, gotten feedback, and then made changes according to that feedback.”
• “Maybe I overthink a lot and I overanalyze, but I think maybe that’s why I’m good at what I’m building here.”

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I’m burned out on the build phase. The pressure to get every visual and calculation perfect has killed the joy of creation. I’m second-guessing everything because this piece matters, it’s something people will actually see and use. Still, I know overanalyzing is part of what makes the system sharp. I’m aware of my frustration, but I’m staying disciplined—finish the dashboard, move forward, release it, get feedback, then iterate.
