I think procrastination isn't always about doing nothing.

Sometimes you're actually busy, working on interesting things, learning something new, or exploring ideas.

You feel productive, but you're are not doing what you planned to do.

That's why I think having a weekly plan is so important. At least you know when you're procrastinating, even if you're doing something useful.

We've been building Dots, a macOS app that turns the notch into a customizable workspace.

And honestly, building the app has been the fun part haha.

We've spent countless hours working on features, fixing bugs, and improving the experience. But once we started putting Dots out there, we realized something.

My LinkedIn inbox is half spam these days. Pitches right after connecting, fake "quick question" messages, AI written compliments about my profile.

But I still reply to some strangers. Usually when they mention something real I posted or just ask a normal human question without selling right away.

I'm curious where your line is?

What makes you reply to a DM from someone you don't know? And what makes you ignore it instantly?
