Hey! I'm Janis Ozolins, the creator behind all this. Here's my about page.
Luck requires preparation.
Start with what you have.
A lot of problems disappear once you stop imagining them.
Curiosity is the ultimate cheat code. It makes learning effortless and turns hard work into play. While others force focus, you’re pulled in naturally.
Both feel good in the short term, but only one will feel good in the long term.
Consistent trying can change your mind.
When you sit down to work (but don't work)
Work towards your dream job.
Breakthroughs take time.
The path to regret.
The tipping point for growth.
It creates momentum and keeps the flame alive for your dream.
More tasks. More switching. More lost time.
That time of the year.
Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
You've got this.
A worthwhile search.
Earn your tools.
Slice and start.
Doing is overestimated. Quitting is underestimated.
Align your actions with the reputation you want—and use the internet to scale it.
Good products bridge gaps.
A day in the life of most people.
Ship and iterate.
Action.
Why do people leave their well-paid jobs for funky side hustles?
Obsession is your ultimate advantage.
It makes no sense that we don’t do them.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
What could be that regret?
Sign of a good project.
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.

A great product is essential, but great marketing is optional.
Honest project plan.
Give it an honest try.
Procrastination that feels like “work”.
Start now and avoid regret.
Complaining costs time.
Try and expect that you'll need to try some more.
All good things, but one is the real needle mover.
Do it before doubt destroys it.
Human nature.
Most projects be like this.
Notification came, and the focus went.
Deliver. Overdeliver. Never underdeliver.
Start now. It’s not too late.
Promise less, deliver more.

Get more attention by opening up.
Keep going.

Be aware if you have too many answers.
To-do lists require work, they don’t do the work.
Life.
Is there a better way?
Nike is right.
Drop something. Say no. Or burnout.
Want change? Take action.
Move the ball forward every single day – no matter how small.
In the short term, chasing curiosity might not always make sense – no clear payoff, and you might even look silly. But keep going – it’ll take longer than you think, but it’s worth it.
