Goodbye stats!

When I redesign a website, like here, one of my first reflexes is to install Google Analytics to get a sense of traffic.

This time, I forgot.

It took the visitor count dropping to zero for me to realize it.

And you know what? I'm not going to install it. 

Sure, for a professional site, it might be important. But for a personal site... Do I really need public feedback to know what I want to talk about?

And I'm also making this solemn decision before you all: I'm going to stop checking the views and likes on my daily videos. It's hard because you actually can't access the account without seeing them – especially if I want to keep replying to comments. But I'll try.

To achieve what the Bhagavad Gita calls "fruitless work": doing the work without being attached to the fruit of the work.

Apparently, that's true freedom.
