Have you ever noticed that if you knew the right question to ask, you would have solved the problems you couldn't?
Every goal can be sped up.
This is my frequent struggle as a scientist and entrepreneur.
I built a tool to solve that problem. ENJOY!

Today the MVP is launched!!
You type in a description of your goals and interests and get (every day) a batch of inspiration - a choice of potentially useful/interesting articles.
Describe yourself. Get useful articles. Dead simple.
Your early adopters?
We are working (
#buildinpublic
) on a service that will find you:
-right communities
-hashtags
-users to imitate
-content examples
Click the tweet - see the link.
Today (!) it's free - as it's not yet finished.
Just give us some feedback as a comment :)
It takes more time to write a short email than a long one.
It also takes more time to build a simple-use product than a complicated-use product.
Do you agree?

X is acting weird sometimes
For some reason, it shows me that I'm only following 5 people, although when I click, it shows me more people.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Just spent 3 hours deriving (using the classical method of pen and paper) a new solution to an optimization problem I have to solve.
Then I realized that it could be done 10x simpler.
Love it. Hate it. BOTH.

I will send a free Deep Work Self-Correcting System in DM to everyone who replies this post!
Consider it a small gesture of gratitude for all the support I receive on X ✌️

Hey!
I'm Paul Sobiecki, a theoretical physicist working both in science and startup.
I'm building a crazely innovatory know-how learning service at adstra . ai (without spaces)
"I'm stuck in the process of growing my product." How can I overcome this block?🤔
I created a True-Fans-Based Growth Model in Notion to make this easier for myself 📈
I want to share this model for free. To get the link, simply reply or retweet this post!
Just before falling asleep: It's truly amazing how many useful tips and support I received from X regarding the upcoming Unearth launch. Huge thanks to everyone 🫶
A shower thought:
I think that using your real name while signing up for a newsletter is a waste of opportunity.
So much better to receive emails that start with things like "Hello, Mr. Interplanetary Lord of Fallen Trees"
Hi X!
Last time you did great job, so now

me with people looking for their early adopters, because we’re working on a revolutionary tool just for them! 💥
Reply to this tweet and let’s stay in touch!🤝
Really, just the vibe!
In essence, here is the question: which layout would you rather use to search for the early adopters you need?
1. Chat-like with a lot of comments and planning, but less list-y
2. Brutal lists of the communities that hold your future users

For the last 3 months,
I have been step-by-step REDUCING my distractions to be more focused.

It brought results different than I expected.

Absolutely, ignoring or glossing over problems in the name of spirituality can really backfire. Facing issues head-on is crucial for genuine growth. Have you found any effective practices or mindsets for avoiding spiritual bypassing in your own journey?

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
For me, JavaScript's flexibility makes its syntax quite appealing. It's like a sandbox for your coding creativity.
@arvidkahl
Absolutely, refining training data is crucial for the development of reliable AI systems. Balancing quantity and quality of data can significantly impact the behavior and trustworthiness of these models. It's fascinating to think about the layers of complexity involved.

It took me 3 days (or less actually) to get the first 300 users.
It took me 3 years to come up with a service that's capable of that.
Keep going.

I learned to NOT do what I hate.
@jordanbpeterson
extensively talks about this.
Yin and yang. Even something that we love has aspects and tasks that we hate.
But.
What you hate may be something that somebody else loves.
Hire. Full-time, part-time, a freelancer, whatever.
This highlights a fundamental truth in product development: market validation is not just a post-launch activity, but an integral part of the iterative design process🔧
A truly effective product leverages continuous feedback loops to align closely with user needs, creating a
"My product is good; I just need to find a way to market it"
Nope.
Good products don't have $0 MRR.
Yes, your product can work. But if nobody is paying for it, it's not good.
Getting more traffic won't solve it.
Building a better product based on users' feedback will.
Local thinking is the death of big ideas.
Whether it's physics or business, you "die" if you focus directly on what a thing does - instead of why it does what it does and the big picture.
Rituals are pivotal in achieving peak cognitive performance. According to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Applied Cognitive Psychology, individuals who follow a consistent pre-task ritual demonstrate a 16% improvement in focus and a 14% reduction in stress levels.
“Your ritual needs to ensure your brain gets the support it needs to keep operating at a high level of depth.
For example,
the ritual might specify that you start with a cup of good coffee,”

3 weeks pass since I decided to Tweet regularly.
What I noticed:
⚫ People sell their souls for likes. Become copies of one another with generic statements. Fortunatelly in time I noticed my own drift in that direction.
⚫ Everybody is an expert here. Or plays one. Myself? I

One of my users just reached out to me on Discord to say that my app saved him from making an $80,000 mistake.
So much effort, metaphorical blood, and literal sweat goes into my work that moments like this are worth a ton.
Indeed, deep work is a powerful tool in our increasingly distracted world. A study by Gloria Mark at the University of California revealed that it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to refocus after an interruption. Imagine the productivity gains if we committed to

Writing for landing pages is like quantum physics.
It might not take much space, but the complexity is immense.
Every word has to carry its own weight.
Conquering mountains, one step at a time.
Just like hiking, entrepreneurship is a journey filled with challenges and breathtaking views.
So, embrace the uphill battles, because the view from the top is always worth it! 💪🏔️

I won't tell you that I fully understand the role distractions play in our lives, but I learned that they do play a role.
Now I learn back how to be more autotelic in what I do. (concept from Flow by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi)

Forest walks are great for thinking.
But guys, remember about ticks. First one I got in a decade.
They don’t fall on you, they are in grasses.
Take routes where no plant can touch you.

Wise words from Ryan Holiday, underscoring a critical cognitive bias! Studies show that 72% of people exhibit the Dunning-Kruger effect, believing they are better than they are. Staying humble and open to feedback can increase personal growth and team efficiency by up to 30%
Love this quote from "Ego is the Enemy" by Ryan Holiday as it helps stay humble and open to feedback from others.
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool."
What underpins reality?
The laws of business are not fundamental. Obviously.
The laws we use to describe physics aren't either. We reshape them all the time.
The only constant we know of, the only unshakable notion, are the laws of logic.
Businesses that switch from no-reply to reply-friendly emails can boost customer satisfaction by up to 33% (Forrester Research). Ensuring open lines of communication isn't just good practice—it's critical for long-term customer loyalty and retention. Let’s banish the no-reply
No-reply emails can frustrate customers who want to ask questions or give feedback.
Businesses should use reply-friendly addresses to improve communication and customer satisfaction, making it easier for people to reach out and get responses.
