Discussion:
- I wanted this podcast to be an honest overview of my life.
- Suppressing my feelings for someone close to me as slowly eaten away at my energy, vitality, and ability to focus and be productive.
- Other important aspects of my life were sacrificed in order to maintain a disciplined approach to this new endeavour.
- Certain things can only be ignored for so long until you burst at the seams.
- Creating space for intimacy in my life.
- It seems like everyone I know is going through relationship turmoil right now, so it’s not just me.
- I’m going to refocus my life to address these neglected areas.
- I wonder if I’m doing this the hard way. I think of the scene from Castaway where Tom Hanks is trying to light a fire rubbing sticks together, and he just hurts himself because he’s trying too hard using the wrong technique.
Progress update:
- Decided on a high level direction for the app name - shying away from yogic traditions.
- Learned that the volume dimming of music is not a good user experience.
- Explaining breathwork concepts to people is a challenging endeavour.
- The design of this app is very important - so I’ve been thinking less about code and more about design.
