Do you know any impactful social responsible projects?

Many of us appreciate tools that save us time or money in our businesses. But there are also projects out there with a bigger mission (improving lives, supporting the planet, and helping those in need, to name a few).

Do you know of any inspiring projects that aim to make the world a better place?

I worked from home for 6yrs – here are my 20 tips to boost your WFA productivity in 2023:

I worked from home for 6 years. Here are my best 20 tips for setting healthy work-life boundaries in 2023: . . . ... 1. Understand that you aim to find something that you enjoy doing most of the time. This is not a cliche. It is doable. 2. Get fiber internet, a 4k camera, a microphone, and lights. It will pay dividends. 3. Separate living from the working environment. When I shut the door of my basement, that's it. 4. I have my "office" shoes. I am primed to think that work just started when I am in them. It's a neat way to divide my routines. 5. Every once in a while, go to a coffee shop or work with somebody you like for a day. Or go to the office if possible. 6. Have focused time. Book off some time on your calendar without notifications, just deep work. Google Calendar now even offers it under "focused time." 7. Turn off sounds, notifications, and other distractions. 8. Put your phone out of sight and reach when on your laptop/desktop. 9. If you work on a computer, get a standing desk. That's it. Period. Go! And get that standing mat too. 10. Figure out what calms you. Example: Sometimes, I take a shower in the middle of the day. On other days I take a nap or go jogging. 11. It's OK not to be productive. Take time off the screen. Do it often. 12. Set up times in your calendar for meals, exercise, and hobbies. 13. Try and have at least 1 day/week without meetings. Book it off. Fridays are good days for that. 14. Jam as many meetings together as possible. Keep meetings from being spread out too much. It will kill your productivity. 15. Do meetings standing. You'll finish them quicker. 16. Try not to bring any digital/office gear to your bedroom. 17. Have two computers. One for work. One for fun. 18. Have an object that helps you to decompress... I have an electric guitar + an amp. 19. Print out some useful reminders. I have a picture that says: "Be kind to your mind." 20. If you can't get away from the virtual office, do something where you have to apply your undivided attention. For example, I do MTB or a long drive to someplace. Or do anything where you can't have the internet, and that'll do. :) And now I'll disappoint you. I don't believe in a work-life balance. Yikes! You are YOU (and should be!), wherever you are at work or home. In 2023 there's no need to fake/facade things. So keep playing and discovering. And you'll find the optimal balance between you and the output (legacy) you leave behind. No need to live two lives. Live one that matters. Keep creating!

Hi there 👋 I’m Gagan, co-founder at Maven. AMA 👇

I'm Gagan Biyani, co-founder and CEO at Maven, a platform for cohort-based courses (CBCs). Backed by a16z and First Round, Maven empowers creators to monetize their expertise by teaching their audience via live and asynchronous video. In just one year, Maven has dozens of creators making over $10k and many who have made over $100k. Previously, I co-founded Udemy, a platform for video-based courses or MOOCs. With over 500 million course enrollments, Udemy was the first major MOOC platform online and is the most extensive video courses library on the Internet. I was also co-founder and CEO of Sprig, a food delivery company that raised $60M and eventually shut down. Currently, I'm working on a 3-day virtual lecture series called The Ideation Bootcamp where you can learn how to reverse engineer $100 million startup ideas. I also write about my experiences as a founder here

I launched solo — and made it to the Top 5 today 🚀

Hey Product Hunt!
This morning I launched my first solo product ever: Controol a minimalist finance app built around one idea:

Know how much you can spend, not just what you already did.

No team. No paid ads. No launch list. Just late nights and building something I personally needed.
I honestly didn t expect much but hours later, it made it to the Top 5 of the day

The feeling? Wild.
Strangers are connecting with the mindset behind it, and it's been amazing to read their comments.

How important is it to be passionate about the problem your business is solving?

If I'm being completely honest, I have built a successful resume maker tool but I'm not passionate at all about resumes. Although it is really rewarding to help people in something as important as their job search, what I am really passionate about is building cool things online and the potential of building a lifestyle business that would allow me to be a time millionaire. But I always wonder how it would feel when both boxes are checked- when you are passionate about the problem you are solving AND passionate about building your own business. Sometimes what you're passionate about is not economically feasible- I would love to develop video games but the market is already saturated. Although having a successful business could leave room for me to use my free time to follow my passion. Then the line can get blurry- am I passionate about the problem my product is trying to solve or passionate about the result of solving that problem? I don't actually care about resumes but I work on it with passion because of the possible outcome ... what is the difference then? I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have had a great money-making idea and went for it. But that's not necessarily in niche that you feel passionate about. What do you think is the extent to which a business can be hindered when the founder(s) have no passion for the problem the business is solving? Do you think it even matters?
