Building momentum
Keeping the winning streak🎉
Hello friends!
Before this week’s newsletter, I just want to talk about an app I’m working on to help you store and retrieve your important links and notes. It’s like your second digital brain for all your links and notes. You can check it out here👇
Let’s dive in.
I have been working on LinkHiveAI and to be honest it has been one the most best thing l have ever worked on. Am learning some great lessons while solving a problem, l do believe in. And today am going to share some ideas from this week:
l. Build Slow
If you’ve ever worked on a project, there’s always an itch to get everything done now.
This usually turns into an overwhelming cycle—leading to action paralysis.
And soon, you find yourself trapped in procrastination, which I wrote about a couple of months ago.
But keeping things slow and staying in rhythm is a hack.
ll. The Nature of the Snowball Effect
The snowball effect is a powerful analogy.
A small snowball rolling down a hill gathers momentum and size as it continues moving forward. What starts as something small eventually turns into a massive force.
This is how small actions lead to large results over time.
Each small, consistent effort builds upon the last, creating a compound effect in ways you don’t immediately notice—but over time, it transforms everything.
From a philosophical perspective, it highlights the interconnectedness of actions and outcomes. Everything you do today is shaping what happens tomorrow.
lll. The Information Diet
Momentum isn’t just about action—it’s also about energy.
How much can you realistically do in a day or a week? That depends on several variables—one of the biggest being inspiration and motivation.
And these variables are heavily influenced by the information we consume daily.
YC partners Michael Seibel and Dalton Caldwell call this the information diet—what you feed your mind matters just as much as what you feed your body.
You have to be mindful of your environment—both physically and virtually. The books, tweets, videos, and conversations you consume will either fuel your momentum or drain it.
lV. Sustaining Long-Term Growth
Building slow isn’t about delaying success—it’s about sustaining it.
Some ways to ensure steady, long-term growth:
✔ Reflective Methods – Journaling, self-assessment, and tracking small wins.
✔ Balancing Immediate Needs with Long-Term Goals – Making sure today’s efforts align with future outcomes.
✔ Evaluating Progress & Adjusting Strategies – Knowing when to pivot, double down, or eliminate distractions.
Success isn’t about how fast you build—it’s about how well you sustain the momentum.
Keep going. Keep building.

We are on issue #3 on the series - Mediocrity is the silent killer:
To achieve all the dreams, we need to wake up with the right mindset every day and maintain the best mindset during the week. The right mindset can make a big difference in a week and consequently in a year.

I like the idea of the snowball effect. Slow progress ALWAYS compounds to something big.
