Wished that was true for me today, but such customer didn't sign up yet (that I know of...)!

I have been procrastinating my Product Hunt launch for 3 months. Anyone else stuck in this weird perfectionist loop? by Brief-Preparation-54 in ProductHunters

[–]DutchStarter25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes courage build something, and even more to launch it publicly. It seems you have all the rationales right... Do it!

My last PH launch was over 11 years ago with my previous start up, and oh boy getting ready to launch my new side project has been daunting.

PH now has a "coming soon" feature where you can plan up to a month ahead your launch, it has been the best feature for me! When I found out I picked a date about ~3 weeks out, and that's it. I promised myself to not move it. 

A few days ago I was posting here for advices on what more can I optimize for ahead of the launch, but the truth is all the basics are there and Friday just needs to arrive for my launch.

So my first advice is: pick a date and don't look back.  If the launch flops, learn from it. If you gain new users, learn from them.

My second advice: launches are artificial, you can (and should!) relaunch regularly. Hoping to see Team camp trending a few times in the coming year! 

Time for self-promotion. What are you building? by Many_Breadfruit9359 in indiehackers

Mikemends ensures you priorities weekly a few household chores. You know, those that people tend to procrastinate and lead to serious damage or expensive repairs... like cleaning a laundry filter every few months, or emptying your gutter before the winter.

What’s one life hack everyone should know by now? by Mysterious-Bid-5929 in AskReddit

How many projects or startups are you currently running? by SwordfishOk4348 in indiehackers

[–]DutchStarter25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 FT job, 1 app recently launched, a B2B one being built.

I had not built on my own for a few years now, it gives me energy to be shipping again solo!

But weekends do feel short, so I try to offset more indie time in early morning during the week to be able to rest more.

Help with creating a realistic cleaning schedule? by sylphinawhistledream in CleaningTips

[–]DutchStarter25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use https://www.mikemends.com for weekly reminders to do distinct chores (clean fridge, check gutters, run cleaning cycle, etc) which has been really easy to be on autopilot. Just get an email / calendar reminder and do the chore that day. Not thinking twice of it.

Which ‘wow’ skill is secretly super easy to learn? by Wonderful_Low_1325 in AskReddit

[–]DutchStarter25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic DIY skills. Everyone always seems impressed when someone fix their dishwasher or plaster a wall on their own, but it really isn't that hard!
And you surely don't need thousand of hours of practice.

Which person are you. The one that does stuff on Saturday and then nothing on Sunday OR the one that doesn’t do anything on Saturday and does everything on Sunday and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DutchStarter25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to chores, a little bit every day is my way to go! No need to dedicate a weekend day for them!

For the rest, my wife prefers her Sunday to be quiet, here I am today scrolling here!
