This reads quite funny: “god damn it, one of my projects was successful, so it ruined the fun”


That's exactly how it goes though. You put something together on an idle Tuesday evening and you end up as the person running a 30 people company if you're not very careful about it. Success has a massive price tag.


Thanks for fueling my success anxiety.


YW :)

Here's to hoping you succeed. The thing I messed up: personal relationships due to business success.


Thanks! I was actually writing exactly this in another comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39268994

As someone with a likely ADHD, it's very hard to plan for multiple things in my head, I can usually focus only on one big event at a time: product release, party event, plan romantic date, etc. So, usually I do have to choose onlu one thing to prioritize in the short-term.


Apologies for the late answer. I'm 58 and I still struggle with this. Time management, especially with multiple high priority competing interests is super hard, more so when there are other people involved.
