Spend a fixed one hour on Product Hunt every day.
@zenda1122 so that would be 1hr per day for twitter, 1hr for product hunt and rest for development?
Balancing time on Product Hunt with other responsibilities involves a few strategies:
1. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve by spending time on Product Hunt, whether it's discovering new tools, networking, or staying updated.
2. Schedule Dedicated Time: Allocate specific periods during your day or week to explore Product Hunt. This helps ensure that it doesn't interfere with other responsibilities.
3. Use Notifications Wisely: Customize notifications to avoid distractions. Focus on the updates or products most relevant to your interests.
4. Prioritize Tasks: Tackle high-priority responsibilities first and use Product Hunt as a reward or break during less intensive periods.
5. Stay Organized: Keep track of interesting products or trends using lists or notes, so you can revisit them later without needing to constantly check the site.
Balancing engagement with other tasks is key to maintaining productivity and staying informed.

well, the way i can continue to be active using Produt Hunt is by spending 1-2 hours in the morning before doing activities and at night before going to bed. Or when I'm on break time I look around for a while.
Sorry, it is hard and terribly difficult but the answer is consistency. You stick to it no matter what.
To balance time on Product Hunt with other responsibilities:

@busmark_w_nika how do you balance ph and twitter and development?
I find setting dedicated time slots for Product Hunt on my calendar really helps. I stick to these times to ensure I stay active while managing other tasks effectively.
Establish priorities and arrange it well

1. Set Specific Goals: Determine how often you want to check Product Hunt and what you aim to achieve during those sessions (e.g., discovering new products, engaging in discussions, or providing feedback).
2. Time Blocking: Allocate specific time slots for Product Hunt activities in your daily or weekly schedule. This helps ensure you dedicate consistent time to the platform.
3. Use Productivity Tools: Consider using timers, task management apps, or browser extensions to stay focused and efficient during your Product Hunt sessions.
4. Prioritize and Filter: Use Product Hunt's features to filter content based on your interests and prioritize products that align with your goals.
5. Engage Strategically: Participate in discussions, upvote products, and leave thoughtful comments, but don't feel obligated to engage with everything.
It's tough to find time for everything, especially Product Hunt! One thing that helps me is setting specific goals. Maybe it's discovering one cool product a day or participating in one discussion. Having a focus makes my time on PH more intentional
Its up to a person how he/she is going to split the tasks and manages the time. As humans, if we find something interesting or necessary, we make time for that particular activity regardless of our busy schedules.
Download the app on your phone, close your laptop, and before going to bed spend few minutes with the community
Here are some effective strategies:
1.Set fixed times: Schedule 15-30 minutes daily for Product Hunt.
2.Focus on quality: Engage in meaningful discussions rather than trying to participate in everything.
3.Smart notifications: Set alerts only for important topics.
4.Combine tasks: Integrate Product Hunt activities into your daily work.
5.Regular review: Evaluate your strategy's effectiveness and adjust as needed.
Hope that helps
