Recently joined and its been great from the get go! - met amazing people, getting shit done and learning too. Best decision I made was to join this community. I see great things coming out of it.

Love this! No more split screening. Looking forward to the Roam integration

Always buy it as soon as I have the idea - I have so many in used ones now. I guess its a reminder of the ideas you didn’t see through.

I've worked at a number of agencies and with brands and always found in the content / social team it was always a case of filling in a content plan and became content for the sake of content. Like you were just ticking off boxes. Over time I started implementing and using various techniques to find content ideas relative to my audience. From using Amazon, to Quora and a whole load of...

- I installed freedom.to and created block lists of distracting sites (across all devices) - use the pomodoro technique - listen to instrumental music so my brain doesn't have to process lyrics - I use rescue time to monitor my performance and see where I can improve - I zone my calendar, 4 hours dedicated to a highlight or big project, set a time to check emails or slack, remaining hours for...

I recently cancelled my Adobe creative cloud licence due to the other powerful tools out there. My current stack: Descript for podcasts and now video editing Figma for all my assets - cool that you can have all social sizes on one page and make parts dynamic BannerBear - great no code solution using templates. Just hook up a form or spread sheet with Zapier and the automations will produce...

Freedom. defining your own working conditions. I'm able to zone my calendar for client work, side gigs and time with my son. There is no point in being in an office. If you want some stats and reasons, checkout out https://twitter.com/chris_herd - amazing learnings.

Content planning can take a few days and usually you plan for the month. Be it 1 post a day or 20. What I usually do is have one main piece of of content like a blog post and then break that into at least 10 posts. For twitter, instagram and Facebook (plus sites like producthunt, Indie hackers, reddit, etc) For the record I’m currently writing a book on the various methods to find the content...

great booking tool. Installed on my new site - going live soon

this is great! Well done.

Need to try this, great concept. Have a chat with a friend, colleague or peer and you’re generating content.

Love this! Love the 'bum guns' in Thailand and just got back from Turkey where they use them there. Currently looking to convert my existing toilet.

Love this, had an idea last night, setup my site, bought the domain and this site sorted all the branding. Very cool

My day job is in social, so can’t really avoid it. I’m currently deleting my personal FB but keeping presence for my ad manager...oh and my VR. Plus Instagram is now purely business. I started watching the documentary last night but stopped at the point where is said something on the lines of Facebook does split testing on ads to find out more about you.... no, it’s the marketers that do that,...

Just used Miro yesterday - was in a face to face meeting, but so much better than post it’s on the wall. Had my Mac displaying it on the screen as a whole, then the team were on their iPads. Using it again today for a zoom call

Meetings. I hate, strong word, meetings so have turned them into research sessions. I note down any frustrations anyone has sand see if that could become something. Also, I try to remove monotony from what has to be done in my business and build an automation or simpler step which then inspires more ideas Look at reviews of products - see if they mention what’s missing Product hunt is good...

I used to be head of digital at an agency, but then came across that quote about making other peoples dreams come true. Decided to start the my own consultancy that became my personal Angel fund - As I was paid for the consultant you, the money went back into the various builds and experiments. I’m now slowly transitioning my company to the tools I’m building rather than charging time. Reckon...

I'm a fan of the animations to a certain degree - but more from an emphasis on the product rather than the generic cookie cutter prebuilt ones. From a video perspective I think Dollarshave club nailed it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUG9qYTJMsI And Fiverr recently did a good one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R69QXI4VvZo Note these are 'humour' but they all open with a pain point -...
