Fulfilled vs. Excited

A Bit More Balanced

It’s been a while since last post. I have been busy working on my start-up idea. Right now, I have very clear vision of it and I know exactly what I want to achieve. Everyday after work, I spend 2-3 hours planning and researching on my project. I can tell you what my project is, its not really a secret. It is a book swapping website. Its the specific implementation ideas which will differentiate it from current book swapping websites. I will launch it on June 1st.

Here is something amazing I realized, I feel fulfilled after spending hours on reading some boring APIs. My project has become my exclusive activity lately. It seems boring but almost worth it for the satisfaction I get at the end of day. Back in the days, when I used to stay up all night partying, it was exciting but next day I will feel empty. Even when I go on vacations, vacations are nice and I have a lot of fun. But when I get back I feel like crashing sort of sugar rush fading away. I don’t know if everyone feels this way after great rush of adrenaline & excitement but I feel empty.

I was just looking at my goals for March, and so far, I am doing great

  • Startup – phase 1

Now I know what phase one means. Its planning and defining exactly what my product will do. There are still many unknown but the big picture and features are well defined now.

  • Workout regularly at my dojo until my account is canceled. Then at 24 hour Fitness.

Okay didn’t stay with dojo as it was interfering with my after-work plans to work on my project. However, every morning I go to 24 Hour Fitness and workout with Karl. I am already able to see some difference. :)

  • Spend less than $400 on food, entertainment and other non-essential stuff. This month I was way above my set budget, so next month I plan to spend way under my set budget.

Not bad at all this month, $200 so far on food. Most of the time I have been eating outside.
