You know the gap between the ideas in your head and the actual output you create? This gap has stopped me from putting out ideas. Scared that my opinions would fall short of what others expected of me. But we can stand on the shoulders of giants to get over it. Let's dig in👇

@adamlipschitz You and me both. Holding out for the EPL!!!

The first arsenal jersey I bought was in 2003. The last arsenal jersey I bought was in 2011 I promised I will only buy a New Jersey when I am happy with the team. I WILL BUY THE NEW JERSEY IN 2 WEEKS TIME 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

People walk the streets every day with champagne taste on a beer budget. They know what the right thing is to do, but they're taking a chance. And then when they're caught holding the bag at the end, it's suddenly Porsche who is the bad guy. Doing the right thing is always the right thing.

Uyaphi eDadas or Fouche for iPorsche? Ask yourself that first.

@dineshgovender I'll be watching from the shadows for your announcement in future😜

@ryandemetz On 1 April 😂

@DeanOelsch Oh! I'm curious which ones you have tried? I've been using the Aer City Pack and have enjoyed it a lot.

One day when I’m done with agency life I am going to design the perfect travel backpack. I’m on my 5th and they’re all rubbish. As if they’re designed by people who don’t have backs.

@samsheffer Grooveshark, 8tracks, but most of all Inbox kills me.

22 year-old me remembers 😭 add facebook paper, color, highlight, turntablefm

@runwithcuan @mikeroscoe101 will know!

Guys, running cadence… what are your best tips for increasing? Honestly I’m battling. I’m averaging 144-146 SPM which is probably why I’m so slow 😭😂 Even if I try faster it doesn’t change.. so much on YouTube etc but want to hear from ppl who have tried and succeeded

@samsheffer Big Result! Nice even controlled pace as well!

PR half marathon today 🤝

Guys…. 16 or 14 MBP?

@jasonfried had some great advice on @Jicecream 's pod last year when he was in a similar position. "We're not growing. We're just going. Can we just go? Let's keep going... I feel like for some reason you're almost not allowed to feel that way — like you feel like you need to have the big explanation. I have no clue what we're doing, we're just going."

had a lot of very mixed feelings about work lately. i've been doing all of this for decades (👴) and realizing i kinda need to throw out most of what i've learned and processes i've used over the past 25 years. but to be honest, i'm struggling. i'm throwing so much at the wall and right now nothing is sticking. presumably the answer is picking something(s) and just focusing hard on them. but that's obviously no guarantee either (had plenty of failures over the years on things where i was all-in). this is the eternal entrepreneurial struggle though, right? there's just something about the current state of tech with AI that makes it all feel...different. i don't know. hard to quantify. part of me thinks the answer is to actually *increase* my output. try *more* things. make the feedback loop *faster*. but that also increases my anxiety. maybe my issue is that i'm afraid of committing. constantly throwing different things at the wall feels like experimentation. like i'm gather data. like i'm being productive. but committing to something and going deep on making it work...that means i could be wrong on a different scale. but not committing also means i'm potentially missing out on something truly succeeding (however it is i'm defining "success"). i don't know. lots of existential stuff going on in my head. if you read all of this. thanks. /end venting

@Jicecream @RichDecibels Whole body yes

@RichDecibels inside your body?

inbox zero has been achieved internally

@ShaanVP If not already, you should read the crossroads of should vs must from Elle Luna. You'd love it

“Should” does more damage than any word in the English language

@stephsmithio You put in the work and reaped that result! Well done this is huge! 🏆

Ran my second marathon this AM. > 2y ago, I hated running > 1y ago, ran my first half > 6 mos ago, ran my first marathon + puked for 7 miles Today, I hit a 45 min PR. 8 min/mile would’ve felt impossible not so long ago. But 2000+ miles changes your body! Feeling very proud.

@Shady_Lurker Van Uitstel kom Afstel.

“Postponed” 😆😆😆😆

@JohannBiermann1 OK now ask, red or white onions please?

@Reign_C0C0 @iamkoshiek No doubt! You just want to add friction to making this choice.

@ryandemetz @iamkoshiek They will still withdraw them and purchase vouchers, there's literally no winning with them. (Excuse the pun)

students are gambling with their NSFAS book allowances 🎰🎰 tragically, 27% of social grant recipients also use their grants to gamble betting houses win but society pays the price 💔💔

@saradietschy I'm sure @sdw knows what's up.

Is there an iPhone cam app that allows you to shoot with the entire selfie sensor? Has Apple even opened up the whole square sensor to developers? I wanna be taking wide square selfies that can be cropped later thank you :)

@DeanOelsch The folks at Kimh.com do great work!

Looking for a creative interior decorator in JHB with experience doing offices/studios. Please share and comment if you know anyone amazing. Thanks.

@JohannBiermann1 This could be complex, but I'd love to see something like this. The 'plate' index: x.com/_ShuthaUbuso/s…

Happy to run with this... But keep it simple because the devil is in the detail! So what we've got: - Braaibroodjies - Vetkoek and mince - Fish 'n chips Preferably combo's like above and not single line items.
