Stop fucking around with tools and get to work

A love note to myself

Hi Laïla,

This is a love note from your mind.

Please stop fucking around with tools and get to work.

It’s great to be thoughtful, yes.

But at some point, any decision is better than no decision.

It doesn’t matter if you choose Betterment or Wealthfront or Vanguard as much as it matters that you start investing.

It doesn’t matter if you use Medium or Ghost or Wordpress or Webflow or Squarespace as much as it matters that you write and share your ideas and grow from that experience.

It doesn’t matter if you use Mailchimp or ConvertKit or whatever else as much as it matters that you create that newsletter for folks who are excited to follow your journey along.

It doesn’t matter if you use Lightroom or LuminarAI or Photoshop as much as it matters that you create a process for yourself to take beautiful pictures and have fun editing them.

There’s no such thing as the most-perfect-optimal solution, and the maximizer mindset will be the end of you.

If you’re clear on what you want to achieve, do some research, make a choice and move along.

With love,

Laïla
