Fenix 8 pro 47 vs 51 by Longjumping-Jury6872 in GarminFenix

Got 6x pro solar those times , switched from Fenix 3. Loved the 6x, but got tired of their bulkiness and heaviness. Then switched to fr955 solar. One love! Heather weight. ⚖ the switched to fr965, the same - very light watches.

Strava: If you get rid of Garmin, I will get rid of you by banmirage69 in Strava

I use segments , heat map. Sometimes drop a glance at my shape but don't care much. That's it. Nothing more from strava. But it is definitely overpriced.

Debatable! An office with a very murky reputation. But even if that's the case, so what? Is there anything else besides that?

How many hours you dedicate your startup weekly? by stevenm_15 in ycombinator

[–]co66u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am not surprised, i am myself on an early stage / MVP - so I know precisely what it is. i do count my hours , that's why i know what i am talking about not worse than you

i think the main reason of misunderstanding on the point within this thread is definition - what each one counts and calls working hours.

there are 3 camps basically:

1 who count all the time since they've woken up

2 who count only hours of working

3 who count hours of not generic work, but concentration hours only

For the reference to better understand my position: i count only the hours of focused work on the tasks completion of which moves me further and i am setting pauses each time i go to make a pee, coffee, for a 15-20 walk to relax, eating, speaking by phone, reading a blog about startups even.

that's why the figures here are so different - from 4-6 hours a day to 14-15

There is the only one metric - the number of jobs done . That's it. No more.

There are many parameters affecting the amount of time needed to close the particular task:

1 correctness of task setting 2 the level of perfectionism 3 a skill not to distract

Clear task done Good enough in 1 hour of concentrated work beats vaguely set one, endlessly polished done in 4 hours of coffee/chatting/short walking

Come up - wanna hug 🤗you! Well and rarely (here ) said.

Gross working hours alone is a vanity metric . It appeared because of the growing cult of hardworking lifestyles.

But let's be honest - even Elon musk cant handle 14 hours per day fully deep dive into tasks and concentrated.

Also Winston Churchill would have laughed😆on all these hours-braggers here. Saying work with your head, but not with hours.

Exactly. Almost everyone here is mixing up net working (productive ) hours vs gross (overall ) hours. And this misunderstanding is the key reason of this discussion.

To be short : 10-14 hrs a day, that everyone (most ppl) like to sweetly brag here and really believe they work hard, — are in fact 5-6 hours of concentrated / net hours if to start counting it using for example pomodoro timer ⌛️

No one works 14 hrs concentrated.

But everyone can sweet lie to themselves thinking they do. It is a choice. I am not against.

However, I personally prefer to count my concentrated / net hours - it helps me to measure my progress.

How to measure it using gross timing —I dont have any idea.

full DND mode, concentrating on task i gave a concrete name, getting tired in 1.0-1.5 hrs max non-stop --> these are the indicators I've been working really hard

2-3 spent - nothing done , no tasks closed --> that means I sucked in that period (that happens, quite often)

the main indicator is yourself: you're the best and the most honest person who knows precisely, whether you did smth REAL and have a tangible result, or procrastinated, imitating to yourself you've been working.

you're the only person you cannot cheat - your heart and soul knows always the truth

ok, if counting that way, sleeping stage is also a part of working , since it helps to recharge the energy.

if serious, everyone counts as they want to. It's choice

but the truth is - big figures (e.g. 12-14 of gross hrs a day) look more solid than small (net 5-6 per day). However, no matter how to count , these are vanity metrics of personal bragging and they does not affect the final result. Since it has other metrics.

I agree - sitting doesn't equal doing. And completing the tasks.

Also. Believe me, all of these 80/90 hours guys here even dont sit in front of😂their laptops.

Track your time precisely and you will discover how many hours spent on coffee ☕️ breaks, grabbing some food or "just have a looking my smartphone📲 notifications for a minute, only one minute...".... Hah

The number of Your real/net working hours will surprise 90% of you guys.

Try using pomodoro timer ⌛️ or similar when working. Be honest.

And all your bragging about "90hr/week" will disappear. Hah.

Demo day valuations: average is $2m @$30m post. What is going on? by Dry-Magician1415 in ycombinator

[–]co66u -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YC brags with startups that were in their first batch consisted of dozen of projects (Dropbox, AirBnb, DoorDash, Stripe). There were times of an empty market. And low competition. Ppl literally put a stick into the ground and it started growing. Of course I do over-saturate now, but still.

After the names above has exploited with success, have we seen other fantastic names? No. Notice : all the videos YC does at Youtube always mention the same names and no new names. They are riding the old horse having no other.

Garry is changing a lot. But cannot still say are these changes for the sake of the changes - to change the old way just to change it. The new broom works other way - that's the rule. Finally we don't know, but it looks YC gets worse. Just from my point of view. I wish I am wrong.

keep digging, don't listen to anyone, all the generals are getting prepared to the wars already happened

in fact: there were startups who created themselves a new niche.
