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?

Do you work on the weekends?

I've always gotten a mixed review around working on weekends. Some prefer it to be a no work zone so they can start the work day week fresh but others like to mix it up. What do you do?

How would you explain your job role to a 5 year old?

We tend to complicate everything so much - how about we simplify things and try to explain our work as we would explain it to a 5-year-old?

Do you blog?

Simple question - as part of your marketing strategy, personal branding, or just maybe some thoughts on paper kind of deal. Would love to hear people who blog and the reasons why Also perhaps a bonus - maybe how you grew your blog if you managed to do so? For me personally, I managed to grow on Medium but it did take some time!

What is the single biggest challenge holding your project, product, or startup back?

As a founder, there are any number of things you're juggling. And any number of issues plaguing your traction and growth. But more often than not, there's that one problem. You know the one. That one big obstacle that is keeping you up at night. And that is not only impeding your progress but feels like a weight you're carrying. It could be something real. Or it could simply be something perceived. Like a mental block. Or a fear. There are any number of assumptions in the industry about what that hurdle may be, but I'd love to hear actual issues from folks who are comfortable sharing. Because if we all have a better understanding of the actual problems, then we all have a better chance of helping one another resolve them. Thanks in advance for considering this. Looking forward to your feedback.

I'm Daniel. I made $404,473 selling an ebook and a video course on the internet. AMA 👇

2.5 years ago I decided to quit the rat race and I left my career in big tech to go work for myself, on my own terms. Initially, I was going to focus all my attention on building a SaaS, but I quickly realized I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Fast forward to today, I make and sell educational info products, do some contracting (working quarter-time at Gumroad), run a SaaS business, and at the end of this month, I also plan to get into selling physical products.I made $550K+ in revenue since I started working for myself, with over $400K coming from info products. Ask me anything!

What lead magnets have you tried to get users? 🧲

For MakerBox (products for Indie Entrepreneurs), we tried a lot of freebies: 1. Check-lists 2. SEO articles with value 3. Demo-versions of products - 30 tools from MakerBox Tools (full list is 600+) - 3 Frameworks from MakerBox Frameworks (full product is 50 frameworks) So far, 3 Frameworks from MakerBox Frameworks had the best performance. We got 100 users in 2 days. The reason is that it was a complex end-product itself. Today we're launching a free marketing week challenge! Excited about the results. Did you try challenges as a lead magnet? https://www.makerbox.club/market...
