I want to let you know that you're doing great work. I'm 19 year old teenager and I have created a new insta page after being inspired from you. My first post is about "how to fortify your mind at times of crisis. I would be grateful if you'll see it.

Thank you, I found this very relatable as I am very obsessed with consuming things related to productivity, effecticieny, philosophy and psychology. I, myself, have noticed that I'm just consuming this content but not giving myself much time to digest it and output it. It's the first time if I have read someone talking about. People always talk about how to avoid wasting time but no one talks about how to avoid wasting time by not letting ourselves waste our time.

Sincerely,

Dev

I am coming back to this post after almost two years. I am genuinely surprised to reread both the post and my old comments on it. Both felt fresh, and I truly needed to read this now. I understand what you meant in your words: "...once you get to that point of burnout, your relationship with work and the things you are pursuing in life will change. You will naturally start associating work and education with negative feelings."

Thank you once again for writing this. One thing is certain: not only does reading your work feel amazing, but rereading it feels equally wonderful.

Love from India,

Dev
