As a founder, I need to switch off my logical brain at times because I'm working on a problem that nobody else sees.

At other times, my hands are the bottleneck; I know the code in my head but need to write it down.

Writing is a powerful tool for externalized thinking; when faced with a difficult problem, I find that writing helps clarify my thoughts better than any other method.

If I encounter issues with my preparation, I spend a lot of time mentally working through them, which I find frustrating.

The mind excels at solving new problems with clear parameters but struggles with making difficult decisions that lack defined edges. When faced with a hard decision, it's beneficial to ruminate on it, then sleep on it for a couple of days until a gut answer appears with conviction.

To enhance productivity, I set aside 20 minutes each day to think deliberately about specific topics, which helps me maintain focus and structure in my thoughts.

When faced with a problem that seems insurmountable, I often switch to a different problem or modify the existing one to find a new approach.

When faced with a difficult question, I take time to think through my response, which is similar to how reasoning models will operate by breaking down questions into manageable steps.

Writing helps me clarify my thinking and communicate plans effectively to my team, often more powerfully than discussing them in meetings.
