Day 1 of the summit is behind us.
Spent most of the day working through the new operating system.
Good day.
Also completely exhausted.

New passport.
No stamps. No visas. No travel memories… yet.
Hadn’t even signed it until today.
Feels like the right way to head into the summit.

Had 3 weeks to build next week's summit agenda.
Putting the finishing touches on it the day before I leave.
Parkinson’s Law is undefeated.
Shorter deadlines might be part of the fix.

I can already feel the pull to optimize this.
Better posts. Better timing. More reach. More Posts.
Not the goal.
One post a day.
Build the habit.

Wrote a procedure for writing procedures.
That’s when I knew I was in the deep end.
Also not the part of the business I ever expected to enjoy… but here we are.
If the system can’t explain itself,
it doesn’t scale.

Some things scale because they’re systemized. Some things work because experienced people hold them together.
You don’t really know which is which…
until you start doing the work yourself.

Spending a part of each day this week watching designer pitch videos and writing rejection letters.
A reminder that publishing games means saying “no” far more often than “yes.” Not because the games are bad, but because they don’t connect with you in that moment.
