What happened yesterday?
Thomas Sanlis
Hey there 👋🏻
So, I missed a day. This morning, when I started working, I first thought I would write and publish yesterday's article, but I changed my mind.
I think it's okay to miss a day. I'll remember it that way :).
In this post, I'm going to tell you a bit about my day yesterday (and explain why I didn't post), and today's as well.
I wasn't feeling great that day, but I'm not really sure why. I felt like I was lacking energy.
In the afternoon, we had an incredible talk by Dan Go, who explained to us how to grow your audience on social media.
I have extremely mixed feelings about this talk 😅.
Dan gave an incredible amount of very specific, useful, and actionable advice. He's a very interesting, captivating, and inspiring person, and, of course, has achieved huge success on the internet. Honestly, I don't think it's possible to give a better talk on social media 🔥.
But to be honest, I really didn't feel in my element. In fact, as weird as it may seem coming from someone who tweets every day, I don't like social media. I've never had Instagram, TikTok, I never watch videos on YouTube... In short, I consume almost no content, except for Twitter.
Every time I listen to someone talk about social media, explaining how important it is, etc., I have to open my chakras 😅.
I'll go even further: if I could throw my computer in the trash and never open it again, I think I would 😂. It's quite paradoxical, because I still love what I do. My job allows me to have free time, organize myself as I want, do many different things each day, and earn enough money... But I know that one day, the glass will overflow, and the internet will have to do without me 😬.
Am I the only one who thinks like this? I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on this (on Twitter or by email, while we wait for comments to be available on Writizzy!)
Anyway, back to that day, starting at 7 PM, it was also our Friday social. I thought I'd attend, but by the end of the day, I felt completely drained, and I had a strong need to be alone for the rest of the evening 😅. I'll join next week's!
I had a great day. I met Mohd, and we spent a good part of the day in a coworking space, and... I just realized I forgot to take photos again 🤦🏻
Laurent joined us in the afternoon. It was really nice 😊!
Tonight, most people from the Hacker Residency are going to a seafood buffet. I don't eat seafood, so for me it's a lock-in at the villa, I'm going to try to finish the last big feature of Writizzy, custom pages 🙌🏻
See you tomorrow friends 👋🏻
