What have you done this week? Any lessons you want to share?

I coded all the tasks management for https://focusplus.io. I need to build the algorithm to generate the perfect schedule based on mood & priorities and a bit of UI/UX and the MVP is ready!!! The beta should be live next week 🤩

Finally understood SEO, and its power. Courtesy of this tweet: https://twitter.com/_buildd/stat... PS: Oh, and also finally understood how to consistently get at least 1 new follower on twitter everyday. Helps toward building a community.

There are plenty of tools out there to grow you just have to find the best ones :)

We have setup our ship and landing pages for CollabClub https://www.producthunt.com/upco... https://www.collabclub.co/ We're trying to launch in the next couple of weeks and that kind of makes it difficult to build a good engaged audience to help with the launch.

I developed a major habit change this week. I do not know how long will I be able to retain this but I hope I never lose this habit. I started keeping my phone at an unreachable distance from my bed before going to sleep every night. I shared my experience on my LinkedIn profile as well. It really helped me with a lot of things: 1. I slept better 2. No more headaches 3. No futile scrolling of social media 4. Bonus: no more snoozing as now I HAVE to get out of bed to shut my alarm

Wore a lot of hats. Applied for EDGAR with the SEC. Raised $80K more and crossed the half-way point of our pre-seed. Finalized moderated user testing prototypes for CRUD UXR for our Beta users. Onboarded 2 new team members (1 Jr and Dev and 1 Jr UX. Created detailed document analyzing financial and payment metadata along the pay-in / pay-out flow. Learning it's important to breath, enjoy the journey, and focus on the wins :)

1. I've read the book "I'm Afraid Debbie from Marketing Has Left for the Day: How to Use Behavioural Design to Create Change in the Real World" by Morten Münster My key takeaways about people behavior from it: ⚡️ Right now, we want to relax and make simple decisions. At the same time, we have grand ambitions on what we can achieve in the future. ⚡️ Do you want to change someone's behavior? Suggest a more simple solution to the existing one. ⚡️ People are not motivated by values but by the input they've made. ⚡️ Every time, try to exceed the expectations of your clients. 2. The truth about making great products I've realized: there's no insight in the office

Finally wrote a launch post on LinkedIn for my recruitment screening automation app https://hirevire.com I’ve been building in public on twitter for a while but it’s the first time I’m talking to my LinkedIn connects about my side projects. Felt more personal somehow. Even though it wasn’t. The lesson is - do the work and keep talking about. And no one cares 😅

Let your self rest.
