I try it many times with tools also like tweethunter, but on a daily basis I can't make it happen as a routine. Please give me some advice, I want to share my story as a founder and build a community.
By now, it s becoming clear that the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 is unlikely to vanish anytime soon. What strategies are you using to lower your monthly operation costs, but still getting things done to thrive?
I have tried several ways to promote my product, but distribution has been much hareder than building it.
product hunt is the only channel where I've found meaningful visibility so far. Reddit has been difficult because self promotional posts are often removed, and I don't want to spam communities where the product isn't genuinely relevant.
Okay, small confession. For the last few months I've been "busy" all day but somehow shipping almost nothing. Tabs open everywhere, jumping between Slack, notes, half-written docs and by 6pm I couldn't tell you what I actually finished.
Last week I stripped everything back to three things: one notes app, a timer, and physically closing Slack for 90 min blocks. First time in ages I actually felt like I made progress instead of just looking productive.
But I know I'm probably still doing this wrong. :)
So I'm curious what's the one habit or tool that genuinely keeps YOU focused?
We still hire mostly off r sum s a one-page document someone wrote about themselves. But a resume can't really show if a person can do the actual work, solve real problems, or handle pressure. Yet it's usually the first and biggest filter.
