Day 10 building while walking
They habit tried to die twice today
❌ midday timelapse failed
💩 then the walking pad remote broke
So i vibe coded a walking pad remote for this 2nd building walk
Should i switch to a GoPro for filming?
(video quality at dark rooms is mad imo)

Day 8 building while walking
04:30AM
5,912 steps even before sun rises
now switching to bike for the next 10 km to work
how do you build movement into your day?
“we don’t need a new website, we already have an agency”
that’s what a potential client told me last week
but i've convinced him to show my work to him
i already rebuilt the landing page they’re spending money on Google Ads for
not just to make it prettier (that obviously too) but a focus on increasing their conversion rate and turn more clicks into customers
called him again during my lunch break today
we’re meeting on thursday so i can show him the actual result 🥳
no deal yet, but i’m finally selling a potential outcome instead of just promising my work
would you build something upfront to win a client?

filming with my phone kept interrupting my work
Day 6 building while walking
7,397 steps
mounted an action cam so my phone stays free

funny what gets you excited at 33
cycled 48.86 km to work and back today
but the number i’m happiest about is 13.4 secs
13.4 secs for running 100 m sprint
26.9 km/h on my own legs 🫡
the final discipline i needed for my German Gold Sports Badge 🥇
between my 9–5, family and building SaaS, there’s always something to do
felt pretty damn good to finish something that has nothing to do with a screen
ran 100 m for three times
my legs are absolutely fried now, lol

Day 5 building while walking
16,305 steps today
finally found my zero-friction setup:
Garmin in my pocket, no workout, no app, just step on and walk (everytime again)
the easier the habit starts, the easier it sticks
What’s your best “just works” solution?

Day 4 building while walking
12,250 steps before the main job even starts
legs feel heavy today,
constant walking adds up, especially on the tendons
At what point does a good habit become too much?
