What do you value most about the PH community?
A couple years ago my co founder Darlene and I shared our Mental Models product on PH, and over the next 24 hours, saw it get taken down from PH, then featured the next day and it ended up being #1 product of the day!
We had no strategy when we first shared our product here—thankfully the PH community angels were looking out for us and we ended up with 20K users within 24 hours. This ended up...

How do you feel in your current digital spaces?
When you hop on your computer every morning, how do you typically feel? Do you wish you felt differently?
I’m working on creating better digital spaces for us to work in, and curious to hear how y’all feel in your current digital environments, and how you *want* to feel!

Sit with yourself. Identify what you’re feeling — is it anxiety, exhaustion, lack of fulfillment? I’ve found connecting with my body to be most helpful in these moments. Embracing the feelings and giving them a hug. Trying to understand them to identify the root cause. Not springing into action, instead feeling into it.
Sending love!

One of my investors, who built a unicorn and took the company public (and continues to be CEO!) shared these words with me the other day:
“when you are feeling like you suck, that you’re no longer good for the role, that someone would do a better job - just find a way to make progress toward the more ideal state - identify where you need to go, and the steps required, then just start making...

Told chatGPT to role-play as an interviewer for a product design role at a early stage startup (gave a full scenario and JD), and then asked it to give me a grade and feedback on my responses along with tips on how to improve. Did this as an example of how we can leverage LLMs for helping people upskill in their careers!
What is the most interesting or unusual way you've used ChatGPT?

There’s a lot of fear in education right now that AI will make it easy for kids to cheat and disempower learning, which I think is silly given edu already fails terribly at enabling critical thinking. Whereas tools like ChatGPT, if taught how to leverage effectively, can actually help in scaling affective education.

Two things that I’ve found most important:
1. Creating Spaces / Windows by project — so whether that’s having multiple monitors where you can see everything relevant to the one project you’re focused on, or using an app that helps with that. This makes sure I stay in flow on one thing and don’t get distracted by irrelevant info.
2. Time blocking. I set goals for the week and day, and make...
Do you choose to have a specific kind of setup, or do you just work however you like?

What does “thinking well” mean to you? And what helps you think well?
A few years ago, I found myself hunched over on my living room floor, with my head between my hands, crying out “I can’t think.”
I was so overwhelmed. My health was out of control, my business was failing, my friendships were non-existent, and worst of all, I felt helpless because I couldn’t think straight.
Since then I’ve lost 120 pounds, raised $5M for my startup, attracted beautiful...

“Rest is work too” — I remind my team and myself of this often. Energy management is just as important as time management, if not more important. :)
Few things I do to take care of my energy and mental health:
- start every day with saying 3 gratitudes out loud
- no phone in bedroom, so I wake up with no ability to grab my tech
- I found the intuition journal on Amazon and it’s fabulous,...

Hi everyone! So excited to introduce Personal Learning to all of you. Darlene and I started building this for ourselves during COVID because we were spending so much time learning and questioning pretty much everything we read online...
I also started realizing that even though Learning Management Systems have existed for decades, they’ve been built for huge corporations and schools to teach...

Hi product hunters! I’m Shireen Jaffer, CEO and Founder of Edvo, and one of the makers of Mental Models.
After helping 50,000 people navigate their careers, my team and I noticed that so many people simply want help making better decisions. Mental Models help with this and don’t require us to rely on anyone except ourselves! But our research showed that the majority of people aren’t even...
