Sunday Coffee ☕️ #0048

☀️ Good morning

There’s 2 distinct modes of the mind, whether you apply it to life or work.

Either you are looking at the big picture and thinking deeply about it, or you're knee deep in execution mode, focused on fighting fires and new challenges that present themselves everyday.

Whenever I get lost in daily execution for more than a few weeks, I start to forget the big picture. When this happens, it's easy to get caught up in all the problems you're facing instead of the direction you're headed.

So for the past week, I've stepped away from execution enough to think about the big picture of what we are doing at DelightChat. And to my relief, most of the big picture elements that lead us into this journey still stand true.
