Episode Summary by AI
I struggled with the Notion financial dashboard redesign today, chasing a performance issue that turned out to be a single column slowing everything down. The process burned hours, but I ended up with a better structure overall. Frustration aside, I recognized the need to release and improve through user feedback instead of endless polishing. I planned to finish the dashboard, film tutorials, push updates to Mina and Trey, and then go for a five-mile run aiming to beat my last distance record.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
- “I think it’s almost more respected and more admirable when people do pause and they think about what they’re going to say as opposed to just word vomiting like I do.”
- “If I spend the next year perfecting this before I sell it, I probably would have gotten much further along and made ten times the product if I would have sold it now, gotten feedback, and then made changes according to that feedback.”
- “Maybe I overthink a lot and I overanalyze, but I think maybe that’s why I’m good at what I’m building here.”

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m burned out on the build phase. The pressure to get every visual and calculation perfect has killed the joy of creation. I’m second-guessing everything because this piece matters, it’s something people will actually see and use. Still, I know overanalyzing is part of what makes the system sharp. I’m aware of my frustration, but I’m staying disciplined—finish the dashboard, move forward, release it, get feedback, then iterate.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
