Congratulations, man! I'm transitioning to this sort of thing myself (going from 6 figures to a pt gig, 2 days a week).

My suggestion: get a whiteboard, now. Don't do anything but decompress for the next few days (i.e.. fuck off) and write anything that comes to mind about your startup.

One of the most important processes for the human brain is externalization: it's why talking about problems helps as you can't think feelings... but you can write them down and later think about them.

I'd wager you're quite emotionally charged right now, hence the paralysis, so just start writing (don't erase anything) and sort it out next week. Things will be much clearer then.

Best of luck to you!

Decided to enjoy the great weather here, drive around a lot and play with legos :) The real work starts tomorrow

Here = union square.

Legos: decided to spring for the new lego trains 7938, 7939, 10194, and 10219. For some reason the train crashes arent as satisfying as i hoped ...

The new mindstorms aren't as satisfying as I remember (and maybe the trains are more enjoyable because I didn't get them when i was younger ...
