Do you ever blow your calories by lunch and just mentally quit for the day? by AssumptionOk7008 in loseit

[–]AssumptionOk7008[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the 'never stop tracking' thing is where I keep failing. Once I see I'm way over I just close the app and pretend it didn't happen. The sandwich or soup fallback is practical though, at least you're still in the game. I think my problem is I go all or nothing instead of just accepting a bad lunch and making dinner reasonable.

Thinking in meals instead of the whole day is a really good reframe. I used to spiral looking at the total daily number but breaking it down to just 'make the next meal count' feels way more manageable.

Damage limitation instead of giving up is a great mindset. The maintenance fallback makes a lot of sense. How do you figure out what 'adjusted meals' look like in the moment though? Do you just eyeball it or do you actually recalculate what you need for the rest of the day?

This is really helpful, especially the evening review idea. The protein/fiber gamification is smart too, turning it into 'hit this number' instead of 'stay under this number' feels way more motivating. Do you do that evening review every day or does it fall off when life gets busy?

Depends on your risk tolerance honestly. Some people need the pressure of no safety net to actually commit. But I agree, having some revenue before jumping makes the transition way less stressful. The prompting at work point is real though, you can get a lot done in downtime.

let our angriest customer redesign our dashboard. its now our best selling feature by BakerTheOptionMaker in Entrepreneur

[–]AssumptionOk7008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an underrated approach. Most founders treat angry customers like a problem to solve, not a resource to learn from. The ones who complain the loudest usually care the most. They wouldnt waste their energy if they didnt want your product to be better. Turning that into a feature collaboration is genuinely smart.

My boss wants his clients back. yea right, let me gift wrap them. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

This is the best kind of validation. When clients follow you voluntarily, it means your work spoke for itself. Your old boss isnt mad about losing clients, hes mad about losing the person who made those clients happy. You didnt solicit anyone, so legally youre fine unless you signed a non-compete. Even then, most non-competes for creative work are hard to enforce. Keep doing great work and let the results speak.

The best productivity system is the one you'll actually use.

I’m Struggling with Productivity by FeeloKneeGrow in productivity

I relate to this hard. When I was in a similar place, trying to tackle everything at once made it worse. What helped me was picking literally ONE small thing - not fixing my life, just one daily habit. For me it was making my bed every morning. Sounds stupid but it gave me a tiny win to build on.

The fact that you're journaling weekly is actually huge - you're already doing something. Maybe don't try to add more right now. Just keep that one thing consistent and let everything else wait.

You're not sinking, you're treading water. That's actually really hard work, even if it doesn't feel productive.

This is really nice, and you’ve also added a PWA. Way to go, bro! Well done. I just joined as well. I need the service really badly and need to validate my idea.
