If the Pandemic ended right now, what's the first thing you would do?

Stepping into 2021 there is some optimism that things might start going back to normal to some point and I'm curious what's the first thing you would do if everyone went back to normal right now? For me, I'd probably just go to a restaurant. I miss dining out so much

Do you use notetaking apps? Which one would you suggest and why? 🙏🏼

I have been using pen and paper mostly, because I like just being able to use all the space freely. But recently I ordered an iPad, so wanted to try this with the Pen. Considering that I'll also switch all my notetaking, from my computer too, which would be the best option?

What's the hardest part of working remotely for you?

I know that a lot of people love working remotely, but I ask those who are struggling: why is that? What are things that are hard (time management, motivation, bad internet etc)?

How do you overcome procrastination?

Hey everyone! I am the developer of Lively, an app aiming to help procrastinators take back control of their lives through positive reinforcement, a first for productivity apps. In light of doing so, I was curious to know how some of you get around being productive and how you overcome procrastination. What has been your experience with procrastination and how did you overcome it?

How do you define success as a Maker?

This is something I often think about, success differs for everyone, some do it for financial gain, some do it for freedom, others do it to help people. How do you define your success as a maker?

Is it really worth it?

I'm asking all the makers who had some success doing their thing. If you had the opportunity to do it again, would you do it or go to your 9-5 job and do something else like write a book or climb a mountain?

Have you built an invite-only app?

What book, fiction/non-fiction, changed a part of you and how?

For me it was Forty Rules of Love, by Elif Shafak, and it greatly changed my understanding of my faith.

Worst ways to end professional emails?

Lately I've spent a lot of time studying the best practices, etiquette and manners related to effective email communication in order to figure out how to help people write better emails with Flowrite. One of the topics that seems to divide opinions is sign-offs. Some email sign-offs are obviously not very professional, while others carry more nuanced risk of email faux pas. Some people take them very seriously while it seems that others don't pay attention to them at all. These are the most common sign-offs or practices that seems to get cited as unprofessional or risky while doing business: Have a blessed day Love, kisses or similar Thanks in advance No sign-off at all Take care Sent from my iPhone Later Rgrds, thx or similar Br Looking forward to hearing from you Do you recall some other sign-offs or practices that have made you feel negatively about the sender? Would love to update my list of closings we should steer clear of.
