Jeff Olsen- The GOAT JOAT

What it feels like when I help someone pick out their first fountain pen.

@TyroneC__ Woah! Congratulations. I wish you the best in the next chapter of your journey.

3 long years. That's how long it took me. Upskilling at night and on the weekends. Going after it day in day out. All to get to this day. I went from being miserable, stuck, unfulfilled to driven, excited, and inspired. -- And today I have officially quit my job. -- This is ground zero. Not the end but the start. Scary, unknown, uncomfortable. No idea what the future holds. All I know is this was needed. No more comfort zone. Now we build.

@drjoshfunk Congratulations!

Karli and I welcomed our little guy on December 16th! It’s been such a blessing 🙏

@LuccaPinho Once you get used to the left scroll wheel it will be hard to use another mouse. (It allows you to scroll horizontally without pressing the shift key.)

Can’t wait to test this guy! Any tips?

@heyJordanParker @lessaraebiger @thecynicalceo That's awesome!

I found a Lessa under the tree 🎄

On my first Space… I was so nervous my hands were shaking. But since then I've spoken on dozens of: • Spaces • Podcasts • Workshops And each time it gets easier. So if you want to get good at something? Put in the reps.

@IAmClintMurphy Also, if you are in the US think about health insurance. The COBRA premiums or healthcare . gov premiums can be a nightmare if you are not prepared.

One of the things they don't tell you about 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 and quitting your job. Nobody's giving you a pay check anymore. Now, it's all on you to feed yourself and your family. For most, that pressure is going to crush them. If you ever decide to go, get ready before you burn the boats.

@chrismanfrank Congratulations!!!

Baby #4 arrived this morning around 3am. Greeting new life is a mystical experience every time. Never gets old. Feels like we’ve known him forever. He is 8 pounds 7 ounces.

@TyroneC__ @framer Congratulations

I'm an official @framer Partner! 🎉 6 months ago I've opened Framer for the first time. Yesterday I became an official Framer Partner. One of my biggest goals this year. Shows what's possible. Go get yours.

@tylerjohnson_59 Congratulations Tyler! Keep up the great work!

In the the last 30 days, we have shipped over 1000 toddler golf bags and club sets. All from our garage. Every order packaged by us. And yes, 1000 handwritten notes. I often forget what day it is. We are in survival mode right now. Never could have dreamt of this a year ago.

@ugmonk I love it!

What my desk actually looks like. 🫣

@MattKaramazov What's the thick book on the top left?

Hold my calls. I mean, my phone’s always on airplane mode anyway, but still…hold my calls 📚

@ACastleOfBerry I'm glad to hear he's in recovery.

Been fairly quiet on 𝕏 today as my youngest son has been in surgery all day and have been anxious as hell. As a father, there is nothing worse than feeling so helpless and having to place your child’s care in another’s hands. Thankful to the docs and nurses out there!

@Budgetdog_ No. Not by a longshot, but we got to start somewhere.

Are you where you want to be right now financially? Don’t lie to yourself. Be real. Are you? Only you know the true answer.

@MattKaramazov I love this Matt. Great job!

Read This Book or I Won't Respect You:

@Clintism I use Async for this.

Intuitive minds are kinda like jazz musicians: We need to jam with ideas before we find the right melody I put a big button for my favorite dictation app on my home screen to make this easier I just smack the icon and start jamming, and suddenly my chaotic riff ideas might have a shot at harmonizing into something meaningful Some ideas sprout into Tweets (like this), longer pieces, or go straight into the trash Either way it’s been a convenient lever for keeping the writing flowing— Talking and writing are my ways of getting mad ideas out of my mind and seeing if they play well with reality Where do you dump your thoughts?

@Budgetdog_ 100%. I hope you all are doing well.

Having daughters changes you as a man

@wesgay I had no idea. Thank you for letting me know.

@EclecticJOAT Lochby uses Tomoe River in their stuff.

As much as I claim to want simplicity, it rarely happens On any given day I’m working with at least 2 or 3 physical notebooks. And my @remarkablepaper tablet Since I’m an old man deep down, I prefer writing to typing. At least for notes, ideas, and planning Anyone else?
