The irony of life is that it always works on extremes.

The month when I was still in Paris, I had lots of free time but no events/work that made me feel busy.

So I took this time to improve my skills on hobbies (salsa, piano) and spend time with my family. Which I knew I would not see for the next 6 months.

But since I arrived in Germany for my exchange, I'm busy from morning till night with intensive German classes, trips and side projects.

Both have upsides/downsides:

  1. Having no external events allowed me to improve my skills and work on my own projects. Like building free tools to get traffic, etc. But no one besides me know I'm doing them.

  2. Having external events allowed me to meet new interesting people and help them on their projects. Sometimes at a scale I would have never imagined. But it steals focus from my own projects in the mean time.

Point 1) focus on doing/building.

Point 2) focus on telling/distribution.

And according to Jason Robert's formula, I will need both if I want to increase my Luck Surface Area (the concept I'm currently obsessed with):

L = D * T, where L is luck, D is doing and T is telling

The best blacksmith in the world is worthless if no one knows about him.

The best influencer in the world is worthless if he has nothing worth sharing about.

Focus on doing and telling. They might change your life.

Question of the week:

What are you doing and telling the world?

Until next week,
