Discussion:
I wanted this podcast to be an honest overview of my life.
Suppressing my feelings for someone close to me as slowly eaten away at my energy, vitality, and ability to focus and be productive.
Other important aspects of my life were sacrificed in order to maintain a disciplined approach to this new endeavour.
Certain things can only be ignored for so long until you burst at the seams.
Creating space for intimacy in my life.
It seems like everyone I know is going through relationship turmoil right now, so it’s not just me.
I’m going to refocus my life to address these neglected areas.
I wonder if I’m doing this the hard way. I think of the scene from Castaway where Tom Hanks is trying to light a fire rubbing sticks together, and he just hurts himself because he’s trying too hard using the wrong technique.
Progress update:
Decided on a high level direction for the app name - shying away from yogic traditions.
Learned that the volume dimming of music is not a good user experience.
Explaining breathwork concepts to people is a challenging endeavour.
The design of this app is very important - so I’ve been thinking less about code and more about design.
