No code tools keep getting better and better. You don’t even have to know how to use 100% of the tool, just take a look to learn what’s remotely possible.

I ended up automating the process of generating and sending out my monthly consultancy invoices. The 10min monthly task became so repetitive that the lazyyy dev inside me just couldn’t bear anymore 🤓 github.com/chiragsrvstv/invo…
Never in my life have I not been eating for 1 full day - so I decided to fast for 3 days and see what happens 🍔

Well, 40 hours in I decided to cut my first attempt short. The timing wasn’t perfect, I have an important appointment tonight and a full day tomorrow and don’t think I’ll have the energy to perform, so I decided to have a light meal

I am a bit annoyed by myself, but am focusing on the positive: - this was the first time in my life I didn’t eat for a whole day - next timing a bit better I am looking forward to implement smaller fasts into my life again and go for the 3 days soon🚀

Good morning everyone! 34 hours into my fast I feel fine - have signs of a faint headache and feel like I a have a slight hangover, but nothing terrible. I slept ok and, right now, am not hungry🦦

Instead, they should have done this 1. Talk to customers first to find the problem 2. Build the solution to that customer's problem 3. Sell it back to those customers Talk, Build, Sell Share if you care 💪

Unpopular opinion: LinkedIn gets you more qualified leads than Twitter for most startups.

20 hours in and I feel a bit hungry - but not too bad honestly. I have a slight headache as well but I suspect that to be because of the lack of coffee.

Apparently a fast like this can have massive health benefits and I am curious how I’ll feel in 3 days!

“If you’re not sure where to spend your business development time, spend 50 percent on creating and 50 percent on connecting. The most powerful channel for getting the word out usually starts with people you already know.”

First month shifting from digital to analog task management with a variation of #BulletJournal... I couldn't be happier. Extremely productive at work and home - plus I'm down nearly 18 lbs.

What I like about this project: today would have been a lazy and unproductive day - but I decided to hit the gym in the evening to get in my 10km.

And just like that a lazy Sunday turns into a 26 kilometre bike ride 🚴‍♂️

Self-discipline and perseverance always trump talent and giftedness. Lean into the power of day stacking ... "Small things done DAILY are way more important than big things done ONCE in a while"
