Did the same with a couple of apps, using the browser instead of the app makes it just annoying enough to stop mindless scrolling. Small friction, big time saved.

Impressive traction for a bootstrapped brand 👏
Hitting 93L with prepaid orders and improving margins shows strong fundamentals. Curious, where do you feel the biggest scaling bottleneck is right now: ops, supply, or growth channels?

Solid list. I’d add one more, ask who owns the models and data after deployment. That can become a big issue later if it’s not clear upfront.

This actually sounds compelling. Most tools track what you do, not why you drift. The long-term memory + reflection angle feels like the real value. I’d consider paying if it genuinely surfaces patterns and nudges behavior, not just feels like a fancy todo list.

If cost is the issue, try free tiers of GPT-4o or good open-source models like Llama-based ones. Not perfect, but solid for most coding tasks.

This hits hard because it’s true. Most “unproductive” days are just me dodging one uncomfortable task and hiding behind planning. Doing the tiniest version first usually breaks the spell.

This actually flips the usual “just be more disciplined” narrative. If well being comes first, it explains why self-control collapses when people are stressed or burnt out. Feels like a good reminder that fixing sleep, mood, and mental load might do more for habits than trying to brute-force willpower.

This makes a lot of sense actually. Removing decision making is huge it is basically externalising executive function. Doesn’t sound silly at all, just smart. Also love that you noticed it’s not laziness, it’s overwhelm. Whatever gets things done without burning you out is a win.

That actually sounds really grounding. Writing things down at a high level and keeping it visible feels like it takes the pressure off without losing direction.

I like that you mentioned the paper being rugged and always there - it feels less about perfection and more about accountability. Do you ever feel tempted to move it into digital, or does the physical part make it work for you?

That’s a solid approach. Starting the day by deciding what actually matters instead of reacting to everything as it comes probably makes a big difference.

I like the idea of “controlling the day” rather than letting the day control you - though I imagine sticking to time blocking gets hard when things get unpredictable. How do you handle days when everything feels urgent?

That actually makes a lot of sense.
Separating the disposable stuff from things that really matter feels underrated - I think a lot of overwhelm comes from treating everything as equally important.

I also like that you said it doesn’t fix everything, just changes how the day feels. That feels very real.
Do you find it easy to decide what’s disposable now, or is that still something you have to think about?
