You got this Eric! Just by starting you've already come further than most people, so my advice would be to start sharing before you think you're ready! This is something I have to tell myself often (start before you think you're ready). It's scary, but almost always worth it!
Very cool you're heading back to NYC. My wife and I moved to a town near Portland, OR this summer, but decided to move back to (probably) SF in the spring. Similar to you, just missing that community of other designers and engineers.
Ah cool! Yeah, I'm really missing that routine connection to the creative community. I had a really good thing going in LA pre-pandemic between tech and music, so I'm looking to kick that back into gear. Also just wanna be in a place where I'm more incentivized to get out and about to open up more opportunities for serendipity to strike. I loved living in CA, but since my family is in Philly and DC, the convenience of just being able to hop on a train from NYC won out.
Really interesting stats Patrick, definitely helps put my own efforts into perspective a bit. Appreciate the transparency. Your new 1% edition sounds interesting, and a heck of a lot of work for you :D Good luck!
Thanks, Steve! Yeah, 1% Better will definitely add to the workload, but I think it'll be worth it. But hey, it's an experiment! If it gets too crazy we'll improvise 😇
Love the insights patrick! i'm still not confident to share on social media maybe once i got more post in substack.

Thanks patrick 🙏
I love this kind of post that gives insights into behind the scenes! In the future could you talk about how you manage your workflow in notion?
For sure, Jose! Happy to put a workflow-focused post on the calendar 👌 Thanks for reading!
