Someone told me a line, which I thought would be good for a discussion to have: Accept it - "If you can't trust your team to work from home; you don't trust them at all." Ps: I like to work from the office Please share your comments and views on the same.
We all have our favorites and we all use market standard tools. But I am keen to discover new products which could make my life easier while running a tech startup. Please recommend only the ones you are using daily!
I loved https://yourstack.com because it allowed me to list (stack) the tools I'm using (to make stuff). Basically answering the question "which tools are you using/recommending?". Yourstack was also great becuause you could browse the stacks of other makers to (re)discover tools and compare approaches as well as sharing tips and tricks around those tools. While yourstack is currently on (permanent) vacation (https://twitter.com/rrhoover/sta...) I was wondering if you only could take 5 tools to an island: which tools would you pick and why? Ideally name tools that you rely on regularly. Can be evergreen tools or something new. Bonus points if you made something using those tools. Feel free to share what you made for context : ) Will also share my top 5 tools after a few comments (wow, narrowing down is not easy)!
One of my first interviews was for a student organization. I was around 17 at the time, and based on the description of the volunteers they were looking for, I was an excellent fit. Or so I thought... It was a three-phase process, and it all came down to the one-on-one interview. I answered all the questions confidently and constantly glorified my experience in the past and not focusing on the value I could provide to them. I got in. Until I became the recruiter later on in the journey, I realized if I were to interview myself like that, I would reject me instantly, haha. When going to interviews, prepare in advance, do your research on the company, prepare questions, assess yourself, and identify necessary learning experiences that will contribute to your role in the company. So how did your first interview go? Share experiences and tips & trick down below
Each day we scroll past hundreds (maybe thousands?) of tweets, articles, etc and it's impossible to consume it all. Have you recently read something that you think others should make time for this week? Share below
While remote working, we all have had numerous discussions around the importance of sleep, and read many articles about the benefit of sleep, but do we sleep well? I am a person who needs 8 hours of sleep every night to function. I always thought that was such a waste of time. I envied others who could just sleep for 5 hours and still be ok until I read the book 'Why we sleep'. (I might now agree with everything in the book. but that's beside the point) Are you consciously trying to sleep better? Or you already do? How many hours of sleep do you manage to get daily?
It's almost the halfway mark and I would love to know some achievements you made that you are proud of. I got inspired thinking about how my year started and where I am now. The start of the year couldn't be worse. January and February were one bad thing after another. I was all caught up on the bad things but I started to reflect on the good so here are my achievements: - Got an awesome job with awesome people
- Held a session at a conference
- Read 3 books (as someone who never read anything)
- Got back to training, and am now in good shape
- Started waking up earlier
- Started creating content for LinkedIn
- Finished 4 exams
- Reconnected to old friends To some, these may seem small but to me, they are just the starting point to a great year.
The daily routine of a person is a mirror of that person s personality. It shows how much he/she is ready to face the world. What are your activities and how do you manage them?
I would love to know what you people are working on. Maybe I will find some excellent and exciting tools, SaaS, extensions, or productivity tools that I can share with my audience.
What are some tools that have supercharged your productivity that you can't live without anymore? Share your recommendations! Mine are - Superhuman.ai
Notion Jira
Insightly.ai (which I'm currently building for engg leaders)
What's the best way to motivate employees?
- Higher base salary
- KPI-based bonus
- Stock options
- Flexibility & work from home
- Company mission & values Of course, most companies rely on a mix of these. But if you had to choose only one option?
Creative block affects everyone at some point, I get it quite often when working on a new idea, normally I use exercise, relaxing, reading and journalling to get to a better state. How about you?
