I feel like a lot of entrepreneurs tend to put their mental health as a secondary focus to their work and other aspects of becoming successful.

I am expanding the section on my site https://solomentalhealth.com/topic/sleep - and am looking for resources suggested by the community. What works for you?

I feel one of the taboos in our scene is mental health. One should be fine if just building stuff for fun, but most of us are trying to achieve some degree of profitability with our creations, either working full-time on them or while freelancing/9to5, which makes it even harder. Since breaking e...

Hey all,  Finally, I am making my move and some people here were influential in the final decision to go to Phuket / Thailand first.  Which neighbourhoods should I look at, if these are my requirements:  a) Avoid flooding. Last year in September Phuket had some flooding. Which areas are best t...

Gaining your initial 100 users poses a significant challenge, and without effective promotional strategies for your startup, you risk investing time in building something that remains unfamiliar to others. Let me outline some successful tactics I employed to acquire my first 100 users. 1. Develo...

If you use any websites or anything, what do/don't you love about them?  This question comes out of my getting sick quite a bit in Egypt and not knowing which clinics to go to & wanting a second opinion about any drugs they give me, etc.  Context: I'm working on product now that uses a vector ...

It’s a quick survey with all questions optional. I’ll share the results once 500 devs reply. Will you take my State Of Devs survey? https://stateofdevs.com/survey/helps/wip

I'm a contracting web developer. I've been self-employed and location independent for a few years, but I still spend at least half my time in the US. I used to be poor enough to get state-funded health insurance, but in recent years have earned enough income to no longer be eligible. Of course th...

Routines; how to keep energy and focus, etc.

Hey folks! Would you introduce me to your family or friends that are caregivers or once were caregivers? If you know someone struggling with burnout while they take care of the elderly, spouse, partner, child, and/or disabled, please forward my info. It’d be great to get their product feedback d...

Not directly related to building stuff, but I'm planning on moving overseas soon to be able to extend my indie hacking runway and starting to think about health insurance options. I've seen a few "global" health plans from: - Cigna Global (Cigna - 6 months of US coverage + unlimited intl) - Allia...

In an effort to improve my productivity, posture, and programming prowess - alliteration aside - I procured a split keyboards with a thumb cluster.
