Episode notes

Time-boxing helps to overcome hesitation by setting specific time frames for tasks, ensuring focus and productivity. Building in solitude may not be as rewarding as sharing progress with others.

Sharing progress is a solid way to reach and connect with people, although there may be critics along the way.
