What I’m good at
‍
‍✅ I can switch between problem-solving mode and creative brainstorming without missing a beat.

✅ I’m pretty self-aware. I think about things, and then I think about how I think about them.

✅ I love seeing the bigger picture: how pieces fit together, where things could go long-term, and then figuring out how to make it happen.

‍What I’m working on

‍❌ I work in bursts. Some days I’m unstoppable, other days I need a breather. I’m learning to find a smoother rhythm.

❌ I sometimes underestimate what’s really involved in a project. I’m getting better at spotting the hidden time, energy, and complexity before I dive in.

Chess Strategies

1. Open a new war front if you are feeling overwhelmed from an agressive opponent. Usually, aggressive opponents are bad with defense.
‍
2. Trade equal value pieces when you are surrounded. This reduces the attacking power of the aggressor.

3. If you have captured opponent's queen early in the game, trade equal value pieces to totally subdue their attacking power. Keeping your queen alive.

4. If a time comes where two of you are equal and you do not have a valuable move to play, then make a move to confuse the opponent and make them kill their time. (when you are playing time limited games)

5. Look out for the opportunities to create a misdirection.

In future

1. Learn: Judo, Wrestling, Knife Fight, Stick Fighting

Update: I learned boxing for a few months, just enough to enjoy bag work and survive sparring. The biggest lesson? Real strength is knowing when not to fight. Sometimes stepping back is its own kind of victory.

2. Live with animals: dogs, cats, cows, buffaloes, horses, mules, birds, camels.

A Pattern I’m Working On

I’ve noticed that I naturally think in systems.
‍
Before I make a move, I tend to zoom out, map the structure, and understand how the pieces connect.
‍
It helps me design strategies with depth, but it also means I sometimes try to solve the entire system before taking the next simple step.

I’m learning to balance both modes:
staying strategic, but acting faster and letting real feedback refine the system.

It shows up in my work: I move fast with experiments, but once I see a signal, I naturally zoom out and build the full strategy around it.

‍It shows up in my personal life: I like understanding how things fit together before I commit to a long-term direction.
