I am drowning in possibilities.
The smartphone in your pocket is more powerful than the computers that sent humans to the moon. Yet most of us use it primarily for scrolling through social media and checking emails. I'm not sure if this is tragedy, but it is certainly a haunting kind of waste. Every app I keep on my home screen feels like a shadow following me, demanding attention I no longer have.
There is a specific heaviness in maintaining for "obligation" what I once built for "fun." It has drained the joy from the work. For a long time, I tied my identity so tightly to my devices that abandoning a workflow felt like amputating a part of myself.
I am finally learning that I am the creator, not the creation.
Why did I resist mobile development? Because I couldn't say no. I chose everything because I was afraid to take responsibility for choosing just one thing. I used "more" as a shield to avoid the risk of being "just one thing."
But it's time for a change.
I am embracing the constraints. I won't fight them, but I am stripping my workflow back to the core. Start small. Pick one project and commit to building it entirely from your phone. You'll be surprised at how capable you become when you embrace the constraints rather than fight against them.
