#35 - lumii early-access log #1: navigating stress with joy

In this episode of the I dive into the thrilling and nerve-wracking early access launch of lumii, our holistic well-being app focused on self-awareness. I share the blend of excitement and vulnerability that comes with releasing something I've poured my heart into, emphasizing the importance of creating with love and passion. This, I believe, is what truly resonates with users.I also talk about the inevitable presence of bugs in software development, likening it to natural processes where imperfections occur. It's a normal part of creating complex systems, and every bug reported by our early users is an opportunity to improve lumii. Their feedback has been invaluable, leading to rapid iterations and enhancements that better align with their needs and desires.Personal discipline and maintaining a balance between work, health, and well-being have been crucial during this intense phase. I stress the importance of meditation and structuring my day around my peak performance times, or "chronotype," to stay focused and productive without burning out. Despite the temptation to work late into the night, I've reminded myself of the diminishing returns of prolonged work hours and the value of rest and recovery for creativity and problem-solving.The goal is to work smarter, not harder, by aligning work practices with one's natural rhythms and achieving a state of deep, focused work that maximizes output in minimal time.The collaborative spirit of this project has been a source of joy and inspiration, and I'm eager to continue co-creating with our users to make lumii an even more impactful tool for self-awareness and holistic well-being.Thank you for tuning in, and if you're interested in trying out lumii and being part of this journey, I encourage you to visit lumii.io to join us.
