The poem is a gentle reminder: - You don’t need to fix everything today; - You just need to be present — Just for Today;
That simple idea became the heart of the app.

- You should prioritize your health as the number one priority. Stress and worrying too much can cause many serious health issues.
Investors don't owe you as they only risk a small sum of money in each investment and the risk is accepted.
There is a relevant book, "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living", that you can read between the therapy appointment and the next SPA/massage session.
- I pretty much knew the exact book I'd want to find when I'm "sad" and just after hitting couple of buttons...voila, I found "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. An essential book to read and reread to realize all our worries can not compare to what this man went through surviving the Holocaust.
Some other books to read when being sad is, Dale Carnegie's classic "How to stop worrying and start living" and some books on stoic philosophy by Seneca.
- Thanks for reading!
>How did you manage stress/depression during the time?
I don't think I ever reached the point of depression, but I definitely had bouts of severe stress and anxiety about the business.
Some things that helped me were:
- Having a supportive partner
- Forming a meetup group and talking to other founders who have had similar struggles
- Committing to a work schedule where I'm working or not working and avoiding looking at work things during non-work hours
- Separating my work email to a whole separate account and disabling push notifications so that work doesn't intrude into my non-work hours
- Using a GTD-style to-do list so I'm not carrying around a mental task list
- Starting my day by sketching out my schedule in 30-minute blocks so I have a good idea of what's achievable that day
- Scheduling time to exercise 3-5 times/week
- Reading Dale Carnegie's "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living." Carnegie books are all kind of hokey-sounding, but I find some of his lessons really effective.
- Many good suggestions already. I'll just mention what hasn't already been mentioned.
You might try reading "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie. I have found it helpful in the past.
Prayer. As a Catholic, I frequently pray the rosary and often remind myself of "thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven".
