What's one thing - product, technique, strategy that has changed the way you work in the last year?

Product: Notion I have my whole life on there. Both business and personal. Plus, it inspired me to set up my business no-code consultancy in the first place. Strategy/Technique: Theming my days. So only doing certain projects/tasks on certain days. I've also joined quite a few communities/groups this year which has proven to be very beneficial. So I now understand why so many entrepreneurs/IndieHackers tout the benefit and power of communities.

I think the strategy I followed for about six months in my business and the constant learning of new information led me to success, and I ,made a lot of changes this year in terms of business. By the way here https://sageseller.com/blog/complete-guide-how-to-integrate-amazon-fba-with-shopify/ you can find a lot of useful infofmatsii, which deals with sales, maybe someone will also be useful.

Notion Organization!

Okay, that's not "self-promoted" but the product is definitely Sembly Personal — because I use it at work every day and it reduces stress on working meetings. I can text search from past meetings, using it mostly with Google Meet, it feels like a part of everyday instruments (Gmail, GA, GWorkspace, Notion, and Sembly)

For Product: Listening to customers a lot, hearing their suggestions and talking to a lot of customers has enabled me to find a right Product Market fit. I was working with a company before who rather focused on delivering some features based on hypothesis rather than actually solving customer problems. I think running hypothesis is good, but not adapting and sticking to old versions is very bad! This resulted in negative customer feedback too. But now, the new product is skyrocketing! Technique: My works were quite messy before and unstructured in the beginning. I think, that's a perk of working with startups. But, now with the passage of time, the works are now more streamlined and structured. Strategy: I used to look out for solutions after identifying a problem before. But now, I think I understand we need to dig deep into the problems. Rather than moving fast, moving cautiously is important.

My mindset of building products has completely changed in the last year. Earlier I used to pay huge attention to my original ideas for the product I am building. Over the past two years, I've learned to pay more attention and weightage to what the users are saying. More importance to the organic search intent and finding/improving the unique value proposition of the product. I've learned to realistically evaluate my product in the market. And course correct to make the product a success.

Technology Zone: In some cases, TechZone may refer to a designated area or zone where technology-related activities techzone take place. It could be a physical space within a building, a section of a city, or even a specialized technology park.

Over the past year, the advancement in natural language processing (NLP) models, like GPT-3.5, has significantly changed the way I work. These models have improved the quality and efficiency of text generation and understanding, making it easier to provide more accurate and context-aware responses to a wide range of questions and tasks. This has broad implications for content generation, customer support, research assistance, and more.
