Fort Michael

Oh shit, I’m human, I may bend the harshest truth if a more hopeful perspective gets better action out of me.

Strive to create a reasonable excuse, one justifiable by numbers. "I'm not inconsistent, I'm adaptable." Sometimes true, sometimes just lack of discipline. But if a person sets the stage well enough through action, and the numbers justify it, then reality is the latter.

My goal is to make problems my way of life, I find peace in them.

Words are perspective. Damn the truth

You took away your right to be wrong. You stopped thinking.

Nobody warns you that building something real feels exactly like failing for the first 6 months.

@Core_Anton Another thing I do is to calculate the amount of time I spend sleeping vs working, a bit OCD but it helps me know whats reasonable. Constantly reminding myself that working longer hours with less productivity produces even worse results long term does the trick

@IAmFortMichael How do you ensure when you need rest that you take rest?

The most dangerous place to be is almost working. Not failing. Not winning. Just busy enough to feel productive.

@Core_Anton I'm actually pretty lazy, I just go to sleep when I feel like it But its definitely hard to do so when I'm working on stuff I'm really excited about, used to have alot of that in the past building apps.

@johann_sath 😄

love having a project that lets me support builders cracked builder who wants claude max? comment what you're building, we'll see if $jars can fund it

@Core_Anton exactly

@IAmFortMichael Very fammilar with that feeling. I just cant be 100% on and i forget that i should rest when I feel like I am at 30%

The best outreach message I ever sent was 4 words. "Are you still evaluating?" 23% reply rate. Context > copy.

@johann_sath cul. should prob check it myself then. thx

@IAmFortMichael it is last time i checked

the full openclaw setup nobody explains: 1. get a VPS ($5/month hetzner or any linux box) 2. install node 18+ 3. npm install -g openclaw 4. openclaw onboard (follow the wizard) 5. connect telegram as your chat interface 6. create 3 files in your workspace: SOUL.md → personality & rules AGENTS.md → how it operates & uses memory USER.md → who you are & what you do 7. add claude max oauth ($0 API costs) 8. set up 3 cron jobs: → morning briefing (calendar + email + priorities) → evening CRM review (pipeline updates) → git backup every 2 hours that's it. 30 minutes. now you have an AI employee that knows your business, runs 24/7, and messages you on telegram.

Personalization doesn't fix bad timing. A perfectly crafted DM to someone who already chose your competitor is just polite spam.

I used to think hustle meant working more. Now I think hustle means working on the right thing. Took me 4 years to figure out the difference.
