I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning unless you have specific plans to end the contract in a certain period of time. Otherwise, I don't see it as relevant. You are a contractor and so they must understand they aren't yo

I see grit as a trait expressed in the long-term. It takes grit to know when you're at that point of fatigue, to walk away and take a long walk so you can come back refreshed. And then to actually come back to it. I think that you and

It's funny how when I'm thriving it seems impossible to relate to the feeling of wanting to give up. And when I feel like giving up it seems impossible to think that I could ever be thriving. The state of mind can be so powerful.

I'm not sure what form it will take exactly, but I would say my life's work is to live as fully into my values as I can. I used to just want to have a nice job with autonomy and to be able to work from home, until I got it and I r

Beyond typical sleep hygiene I can recommend one practice that I've found to be helpful: Reverse through your day in your head. Go backwards and imagine everything you did that day in as much detail as you care to. Don't linger on

As others have mentioned, this job may not be compatible with your needs. Are you willing to give up this job for one that better fits your needs? You might be able to renegotiate your workload. If you have a supportive manager, talking to

I would recommend starting with the basics: Sleep, Physical Activity/Exercise, Nutrition. I'm sure it can be hard as a father, but doing as much as you can to get these balanced will go a long way. You might also consider your soc

Super creative! Other people have mentioned the issues with static posture for too long, so I won't go there. But I like how you've set up the landing page. Easy to demo, straight and to the point. Nice.

Neat little demo. No idea what heat equation means really but it's fun to paint on. Svelte is great! Never thought about using it for something so visual like this.

Networking is, in my experience, the best way to earn business. Most contracts go through referral channels because there is a chain of trust. I see marketing as a long-term investment. It takes time to establish a position in the market wh
