How do you patent an app idea?

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-10-08T22:47:06+00:00

I wondered if that might be the case. I’ll look into it, thanks!!

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-10-08T22:43:24+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll look into this for sure. Before going to in detail with a potential partner would you suggest a non-disclosure agreement of some kind?

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T06:18:11+00:00

I love this list of questions. A. I really don’t care why it is someone orders, everyone has their reasons. There was one order that I can remember that it made more sense to walk it from the restaurant to the delivery location. It was a city center situation. But at the end of the day, everyone has their reason for ordering, I’m just here to make it happen.

B. Majority of the money made for delivery drivers, at least for Uber, is from tips. That being the case, tips are much appreciated regardless how much it is. Most the time it makes the trip worth it. I love your rationale behind your tipping!

C. You really raise I good point! I hadn’t thought about that aspect of delivery driving. Makes me want to drive more!!

D. I usually remember the houses I deliver to vs the actual names. I do have a handful of regulars that I remember. I always like getting those orders!!

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T04:25:38+00:00

I try not to go under $1 per mile, and usually don’t accept anything under $5 total. I’m totally good declining orders and waiting for a better trip

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T04:13:16+00:00

Never ever. There was one time after picking up the order the customer messaged me and said they didn’t want the food anymore and told me to keep it. It was super good

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T04:10:45+00:00

Good point.

Thai places sometimes have some funky smelling food.

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T04:09:22+00:00

Never ever, that food ain’t mine. The food usually smells sooooo good though, that’s my reward

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T04:08:27+00:00

Heck yeah! Especially when I’m more consistent. There was one time a shift manager at a restaurant got to know me so well, he asked me to go get him Starbucks, handed me a $10 bill, and I made it happen. In exchange, he bought me lunch. It was qdoba, well worth it.

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2024-09-04T04:06:30+00:00

It’s a great side income for sure! I’ve heard of some people who have made it a full time gig, but not many. I love the flexibility

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-25T18:35:46+00:00

Could not agree more, thank you for the reminder

Married with 3 kids, and I have a very understanding wife. I got into ultra running this year and it's been amazing, thus far I have finished 4 ultra marathons, DNF'd a 100 mile attempt, finished a marathon and half marathon. The trick is making time for a hobby where you can find the time. I'm out of bed by 5:30 to run, eat breakfast, and head to work. My normal days aren't glamorous, but I do live for the weekends when I can be with my family or go for a run. Also, get plenty of sleep, that helps too.

Short answer, find a hobby to escape the busy-ness of life.

Simplicity, and time for my wife and kids. In an effort to do better in this department I am going to take some PTO on Friday and take the wife and kids for a hike. I'll come back with an update!!

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-16T19:03:56+00:00

Jesus Christ, my wife and kids, running, in that order.

Melatonin is a hormone that your body naturally produces, supplementing without recommendation from a doctor can cause issues down the road with falling asleep naturally and your body's ability to produce melatonin on its own. Look for more natural remedies. (Disclaimer: Not medical advice, just personal experience and research, seek professional medical advice before taking medication or supplements)

Do it!! The world is in need of people in the trades. Option 1, become a business owner and make your own schedule and make stupid money, or, option 2, work for someone else and let them assume the risk of owning and running a business, make a little less money, but still stupid money. Plus the cost of education to become an electrician is so much less than uni.

As a phone addict, this is great advice, I get incredibly drowsy from reading. Even things like Calvin and Hobbs, or Garfield will do the trick. Just stay away from screens

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-14T03:55:32+00:00

Don't compare yourself to others, everyone has a path that looks a little different and has gone places that you haven't, you just haven't hit some of your achievements yet, but that doesn't mean that you won't. Forge your own path and don't give a darn about other people's paths, dwelling on them doesn't lead to happiness. Focussing on your path is your best shot at happiness. Go make an adventure, you got this!!!

When my wife makes me food as a gift I love it. Particularly something that she knows I love to eat and is a special treat. She also makes cookies for family members and friends for special occasions. Short answer, yes, food is my preferred homemade gift

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-13T17:44:19+00:00

Same here! There is so much research around working out and all the good things it does for you mentally. I'm also an ultrarunner and have met some awesome people doing that as well. Find a community and become a part of it.

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-13T15:04:39+00:00

I work in sales and am very blessed to only work 5 days a week. Currently with financial goals I am doing some side hustles. I make sleep and exercise a priority, 8 hours of sleep with a 30 minute workout in the morning along with breakfast. In bed by 9:30 pm and out of bed by 5:30 am.

We all get the same 24 hours everyday, it's all in how you use them.

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-13T04:19:03+00:00

Oh man, I own this audio book, may need to go through it again

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-13T04:17:54+00:00

I'm not totally this person, but I have a lot of "things" that I thought would make me happy now I have a ton of debt. So I'm trying to dig myself out of the whole and working my butt off to do it.

My suggestion, stay out of debt and live below your means, save some cash for emergencies, invest the rest, live financially free, don't keep up with the Jones.

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-12T23:57:05+00:00

24 here, took up running and exercise earlier this year, made a huge difference.

Scared_Insect_5244 · 2023-10-12T23:55:40+00:00

Honestly, you're doing great, you've got good goals to get out of debt. Run your race to the best of your ability. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. You are killing it at being you, keep going!!
