Tell you what—I failed. Once again.

I challenged myself to launch 3 projects in 30 days.

It’s day 21, and I’m already off track. (1/3)

(no, I won’t keep this going…)

My problem?

Setting unrealistic goals, for one.

Seeing other successful makers launching things one after the other… poisoned me.

It made me think it’s feasible.

But I’m not them.

I always walk on a thin line between performing and avoiding burnout.

It’s the short blanket syndrome.

Losing is not acceptable.

So I push. Because they taught me that hard work pays off.

Yet, let’s be real.

Are you over the top every fucking day?

I do not.

So some days, the same task takes me twice as long or more, or I don’t sleep enough, or who knows what?

And I feel bad and push harder to get back on track.

The truth is, this has to stop.

I want to let it go, but I’m not sure how yet.

I’m tired of putting so much pressure on myself. For an achievement? The idea that one day I’ll become successful like them?

Fuck this.

It’s on me—how I react, how I set goals.

And I wanted to get this off my chest. Maybe you read it and realize you feel the same way.

Time to change that.

First, I won’t complete this crazy challenge.

I launched the Threads100 project, which is good. However, I can’t ship the other two these last few days, so I accept losing.

Here I said it.

To better and healthier outcomes.

Mattia out. 🎤
