The last few weeks, maybe even months, I’ve felt directionless. We’ve known for a while that this month, January 2022, would be the last month working full-time with Poption. The rest of the year we’ll host the software and do customer support part-time. This means that as of February, I’m free to do whatever I want.
I started looking forward to this moment of opportunity and time. Being able to do whatever I wanted. Spend more time on sports, seeing friends and other activities. Then suddenly the workload in Poption went down, and I went into a downward spiral. Waking up in the morning without knowing what to do, and not feeling useful is awful. It created this grey layer in my life. Dampening my peaks, and making me question everything. I guess it makes sense. When you have “nothing” to focus on, you focus your energy on whatever comes to mind. And with limited intellectual input, the topics that come to mind don’t change that much.
One of my tactics to move forward, towards my next venture, is to talk to people. Yesterday I had a call with an investor, who recently transitioned to a crypto/Web3 VC fund. He shared some thoughts on the space, exciting opportunities and some podcasts. While doing some chores in the afternoon, I listened to one of the podcasts, and it made me want more.
As I was trying to sleep last night, my thoughts were running around in Web3 and topics from the podcast. I smiled to myself in the dark as I realized it. That was a great feeling. I’m gonna chase that feeling. Try to build and keep up a momentum.
