Spend a fixed one hour on Product Hunt every day.
@zenda1122 so that would be 1hr per day for twitter, 1hr for product hunt and rest for development?
Balancing time on Product Hunt with other responsibilities involves a few strategies:
1. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve by spending time on Product Hunt, whether it's discovering new tools, networking, or staying updated.
2. Schedule Dedicated Time: Allocate specific periods during your day or week to explore Product Hunt. This helps ensure that it doesn't interfere with other responsibilities.
3. Use Notifications Wisely: Customize notifications to avoid distractions. Focus on the updates or products most relevant to your interests.
4. Prioritize Tasks: Tackle high-priority responsibilities first and use Product Hunt as a reward or break during less intensive periods.
5. Stay Organized: Keep track of interesting products or trends using lists or notes, so you can revisit them later without needing to constantly check the site.
Balancing engagement with other tasks is key to maintaining productivity and staying informed.

well, the way i can continue to be active using Produt Hunt is by spending 1-2 hours in the morning before doing activities and at night before going to bed. Or when I'm on break time I look around for a while.

@nola_s_ro Wao 15 minutes will be enough for you? It takes more than 2 hours on a daily basis
It's tough to find time for everything, especially Product Hunt! One thing that helps me is setting specific goals. Maybe it's discovering one cool product a day or participating in one discussion. Having a focus makes my time on PH more intentional
Its up to a person how he/she is going to split the tasks and manages the time. As humans, if we find something interesting or necessary, we make time for that particular activity regardless of our busy schedules.
I try to set aside a specific time each day just for Product Hunt. Even if it’s just 15 minutes, it helps me stay connected without feeling overwhelmed.
I usually check in during my morning coffee or right before bed. It’s a nice way to start or end the day, and it doesn't feel like a chore.
