Behind is the new normal

Welcome to the new era where feeling behind is a norm. If your holidays are restless and you are constantly feeling the pressure to catch up and you have no idea what to catch up on and how much, given the avalanche of things that comes at you, you are not alone.

I love learning new things and I have developed extensive systems for meta learning (learning about learning) for a decade. In the last one year all my systems broke because the world changed around me.

If Andrej Karpathy can feel he is not enough, I feel a little peaceful inside. I took it upon me to update all my systems that I built for myself and that served me all along.

Here’s what changed: I stopped competing with AI and started partnering with it. I’m learning Claude Code from Claude itself. Learning Figma from Figma Make. This was never possible before.

The shift was accepting I will never know everything. That’s okay. What matters now is what I create every day. I focus on first principles. I architect the output because my fundamentals are strong. AI and I execute together. This helps me learn faster and more honestly than ever before.

The daily creation signals to my brain that I’m learning, producing, publishing. It’s not about hoarding knowledge anymore. It’s about consistent output. With every output, you learn and the outcome compounds.

What are you creating today and learning as a result?
