Has the "daily streak" gamification broken how we track our lives?

Hey everyone,

As builders, we are obsessed with tracking things daily. MRR, commits, workouts, Inbox Zero. Because of this, almost every productivity app on the market is optimized for "streaks."

We are obsessed with "daily streaks". But how do you track the irregular maintenance of life?

As builders, we love tracking daily metrics: MRR, GitHub commits, daily workouts, Inbox Zero. Standard habit trackers are incredibly optimized for this gamification.

But lately, I've realized my "mental RAM" gets completely eaten up by the irregular tasks. The stuff you only need to do every few weeks or months:

  • Changing the AC filter

  • Watering specific houseplants

  • Following up with that one dormant enterprise lead

  • Taking as-needed medication

  • Taking a full day away from the screen

What's your favorite perk of WFH?

Hey, hunters! Many of us work from home or in a hybrid system. If that's your case: what's your favorite perk of working from home? My top reasons: - Wearing comfy clothes - Avoiding the commute - Being able to travel! I'm currently in Europe for a month, and that wouldn't have been possible if I worked in-office.

Would you take fewer vacation days in favor of a 4 day week?

I love having 28 days of vacation in Germany--but I think I might trade a few of them to have a 4 day work week! What would you prefer?

What’s your experience with ChatGPT as a maker/hunter?

By now most of us know what ChatGPT is and we have used it for various purposes. So far I have used ChatGPT for: - Understanding errors while developing - Understanding some programming concepts - Generating Privacy policy and Terms of service - Made copywriting headlines etc I'm curious to know what the makers/hunters have used it so far.

Any ideas on how to leverage PH and/or other communities to make friends with other makers?

Hello everyone! As someone relatively new to the community, I've been blown away by the creativity and drive of fellow makers. I'm eager to connect and build friendships with like-minded individuals who share my passion for building and making an impact. I'm curious to hear about your experiences connecting with other makers. How have you successfully made friends in the community, and what strategies or approaches do you recommend for someone new and looking to build meaningful relationships?
