Building my own HQ

I was tired of switching tabs, killing momentum.

I plan on replacing:
- Notion
- Buffer
- Voice note apps
- Zapier
- ChatGPT (to an extent)
- Obsidian

All voice activated so my flow stays in tact while my actions keep up with my brain.

P.S. analytics are just placeholders

Just over a year ago, my life was so different.

Lived in Malta, sunshine and concrete.
Then I moved to Scotland, with my family..

Long story short, I now see my kid one week on, one week off. Life hits hard sometimes...

I had no options. So here I am. Rebuilding, by building.

I added my own personal Journal/Blog - to be updated daily, logging my wins, no matter how small, my fails, no matter how big.

One day, I will look back at them and remind myself of how much I have achieved!

Also, if anyone has a cooler name than Founder Journal - I'm all ears...

I have had to be quite here for a little while... Personal life sometimes likes to kick me in the nuts...

Anyways, I didn't let it stop me from building. So here is a FREE to use Bug tracking tool with a ritual.

Catch it. Forge it. Burn the fucker.

Today, I had the best of both worlds!

Woke up and manage to clean Forgebaords UI.
got to spend quality time with someone I care about, over a good meal.

Pausing work to socialise is in itself a win 💪🔥

Wins for the day:

I woke up
I showed up
I walked the dog
I got to work fixing the UI on ForgeBoard

Everything seems possible whenever I put the doubts away and Show up

Sunday Vibes...

Woke up and started listening to Medieval Lo-Fi???

Opened up VS Code, with every intention to work, but now I'm too chilled out to do anything..

Do you normally work on Sunday's or do you take a day off?

Also here's the playlist : music.youtube.com/channel/UC2G...

Had to reshuffle. Priorities. Tools. Life... The lot 😅

Back and locked in this time 💪

Lack of sleep, project creep, thoughts too deep.
Just trying to catch a break or a breather 😏

Imagine having paid to learn web dev and then you stumble upon Lovable 😅 Thing's a BEAST

Tried to build my own scheduler for X.

Hit a $200/month wall just to read my own posts 🤯

So I’m pivoting. X and LinkedIn will go through Buffer. Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon will run through ForgeCore.

I build for individuals. Not corporations.

Now though, time to take the boss out 😅
