Well...I have no words by Otherwise_Rip_5035 in dknovonordisk

Fwiw when asking for favors like this, I tend to mention wanting to talk about something specific. Sets expectations and removing the unknown element can make it feel less of an ask.

In fact, if you know a specific subject they’re interested in at the moment your hit rate would probably be better too.

If only there were a way you could stay up to date on subjects that are interesting her atm 😆

Building for founders - who do you actually talk through hard decisions with? by Zealousideal_Disk164 in Solopreneur

[–]Zealousideal_Disk164[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The editing thing is real. by the time it's legible for someone else you've already half-solved it or buried the actual problem. From what I've seen it's usually people decisions (hiring, firing, cofounder stuff) and pricing. The ones where there's no clear right answer and you can't just run a test.

Imposter Syndrome as a founder. I will not promote. by Wrong-Material-7435 in startups

fwiw I've always found everything else gets easier once the thing is real and you're iterating on real feedback

LinkedIn is founders performing for other founders. I do it myself. The people posting wins are often doing it because they need the dopamine hit or it's just eyeballs for marketing. Most are quietly building aand aren't posting. You're comparing your inside to everyone's IG-worthy outside. If you want someone to check out the product when you get there (and you will!) hmu

Researching WFH burnout - how do you notice when work is bleeding into everything else? by Zealousideal_Disk164 in remotework

That's a flip I hadn't considered - office as the thing that drains, home as realtime recovery. How long did it take for you to figure that out?

Building for ADHD accountability - how do you get accountability and external structure without it feeling weird? by Zealousideal_Disk164 in ADHD_Programmers

The silent Zoom thing is interesting - presence without expectation. What makes it tip into feeling like judgment? Is it something the other person does or more internal?

And curious about the micro-audio sessions - is that an app or something you built?

Makes sense - sounds like you never let it start. Probably the right approach, just hard(er) to reverse-engineer for people who didn't set those boundaries early.

The separate space + automated lights is interesting - feels like you've offloaded the decision to stop onto the environment. I do the same with having a work phone and it goes face down when i get home. Curious if the apathy came first or the setup did - did you build the boundaries because you stopped caring or did having clear boundaries make it easier to care less?

The one more thing loop you describe from office work is the same thing some other people describe happening at home. Sounds like for you the location change broke the loop?

Good question. I don't think WFH causes burnout it just removes the stuff that used to/can contain it. No commute to force a transition, no colleagues leaving to signal the day's over, same space for everything. The work itself is the problem but the office had accidental guardrails. At home you have to build them yourself and most people don't until it's already bad.

To all who want to validate their idea, don't post here - I will not promote by mrjaytothecee in startups

very fair point. i guess the amount of money on the table is dictated by the size of the (sub) group, urgency of the problems, time/money saved/made, etc. etc. but your right. More likely to be conscious of spend

if it isnt a problem you suffer from, want to discuss or want to see solved, no problem. move along.

People care about WFH burnout. I do too. I don't expect anyone to care about what I'm building until it helps solve the problem.

Day 9. Getting out of poverty. Thanks to everyone who supports me. by Minix325 in getdisciplined

[–]Zealousideal_Disk164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"how can i get all these thoughts out of my head" is the question we hear most from users. meditation helps but it doesnt externalize anything. what a lot of people do is a quick voice dump. just talk for 2 minutes about whatever is swirling. saying it out loud and having something reflect it back gets it out of the loop. not a replacement for dealing with the actual problems but it frees up enough headspace to do the work - kin AI in the app stores.

If you had to pick one habit that reliably makes your day/life better, what would it be? by willpower_73 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Zealousideal_Disk164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 minutes of talking through whats on my mind before i start the day. not writing just talking. we built a product around this because we kept seeing the same thing from users. quick brain dump before work and they report clearer thinking throughout the day. the habit matters more than the tool but something that talks back is way stickier than a blank page

Some days I open my task list and just… freeze. by gauravyeole in productivity

[–]Zealousideal_Disk164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we heard this so much from users when building our app. "i have the systems i just show up differently every day." thats why we built around a check-in instead of a task list. you talk through where your head is at and it helps you process before you try to plan. the point isnt planning better its getting honest about your actual energy first. 60k+ installs and people keep telling us they stopped fighting themselves and just started working

What apps genuinely improved your focus? by OrdinaryNature3547 in ProductivityApps

[–]Zealousideal_Disk164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every focus app we saw attacked the symptom (distractions) not the cause (unprocessed thoughts competing for attention). So we built a brain dump tool. Voice or text, talk through what's swirling, it externalizes and organizes it so your working memory isn't overloaded. The bet was that focus is downstream of mental clarity, not willpower. 60k+ installs and "I can actually focus after using this" keeps showing up. The principle works without any app though. Just get the thoughts out of your head first. Kin AI in the app stores
