my first time trying "distraction design" → saved a product launch → cut support tickets truth - I did it by effing around and finding out we had this feature, took 8 secs to load. users hated it. so did I dev fix would take 2 months launch was in 2 weeks. total panic mode

the biggest disservice people do to themselves is refusing improvement in small doses - u may feel it's because the microdoses are insultingly small - on the surface - but what it really is fear of the unknown.

I will never understand why would someone ever want to track their sleep. If the score is low, you just trick yourself into thinking that u feel tired and ruining your day before it even starts.

level of agency
ELON MUSK: "I tried to get a job at Netscape. I sent my resume, but I don't think they ever saw my resume & nobody responded. I tried hanging out in the lobby of Netscape to see if I could bump into someone, but I was too shy at talking to anyone. So, I started my own company."

i wish i could drill this in founders. whatever u do, there will always be haters and enablers. issues and opinions in features embedded in a launch. u make something super cool, high-quality, the pro is that u get loyalty, the con is that not everyone can afford it.

Just got done with another visual branding project - this time for a psychologist. Roman wanted his website to not blend into all other olive green therapy websites, he wanted something modern and bold yet still reflect his professionalism.

hands down, Kodee by @Hostinger is the best AI chatbot on a website, very helpful, knows how to fill in the gaps and asks the right questions

want to end this debate for once and all for some reason, a lot of healthcare founders ask me this question about choosing blue the need to be in the sea of blue vs brand differentiation is always mentioned

1. Shame-Based Motivation: No guilt trips for a missed day. Focus on progress, not punishment. just because it works for Duolingo, doesn't mean it will work for your product
