Omg same! You don’t even realize how much mental and emotional energy you’re subconsciously devoting to social media until you cut yourself off from it. It’s crazy. Probably one of my biggest personal wins this year was letting go of all of it.
Morgan Jungelssubstack.comso much in society actually runs on stories and beliefs. Money has no power or meaning beyond what we give it, for instance, and yet this idea dictates who lives and who dies on an unthinkable scale. Gods aren't real, nations are conceits, love itself is subjective, morality and self-preservation are optional, yet how many will sacrifice blood and... See more

Adding one extra feature nearly cost us our startup.
Monday morning, anxiety twisted in my chest as I deleted half of our codebase.
