Balancing the Equation

Welcome to The Equation by me, Ruslan Belkin.

Why a personal blog, you ask? I was long intimidated by the idea of sharing my personal thoughts and experiences with the world. But after repeated nudging from friends and colleagues, I realized that my experiential learnings could be of value to a wider audience.

Why "The Equation"? Well, I've been known to use the phrase "Too much hope in that equation" when discussing product or engineering plans. Over time, I learned that finding the energy balance is key to success, be it between effort and rest, open-ended thinking and focused work, exercise and sleep, hope and fear.

In my first post, I'll be revealing my daily routine, honed to perfection over the past 10 years. From the moment I wake up to the moment I hit the hay, I'll be spilling all the details (and exceptions).

In the future, you can expect more thought-provoking insights and relatable experiences, all with the aim of being repeatedly useful to my friends, colleagues and you, the reader.

And don't worry, I won't be clogging up your inbox with daily posts – I want to avoid adding to the information overload.

So stay tuned and make sure you don't miss a beat!"

In the meantime, tell your friends!
