Spreadsheets that are: - simple - multiplayer - built with templates - unbreakable - autonomous

If I have a 10 min...

Mock up logos for startups

Yes, dall-e is magical!

1. Keep your to-do list short to only the most important things. If it's too long, re-prioritize 2. With your short to-do list, always write down the thing you need to do along with a "why" you're doing it.

Split between F2F and in-app messaging...although one thing I like about in-app messaging is that it feels like people are more likely to tell you how they really feel compared to F2F
