I think it's impossible to be totally calm. But it's better to be excited than nervous.
For me, it helps to know that I did my best to prepare for the launch.
We'll be live next week. Here's our Teaser

Staying calm during a launch is like trying to meditate in a room full of hyperactive squirrels who've just discovered a lot of caffeine pills 😂

Wish I knew 😅
I've been tense ever since I've started working on it

Have a walk and stay away from the network.
I guess the best thing you can do is enjoying it!! Don't overestimate it and make it bigger in your head than needed. :)
As we like to say – we're cooking the product until it boils over 😄. Excitement means you care, and every launch is a new adventure! The key is knowing you've done your best, and for the tension – a few deep breaths before hitting the 'launch' button can work wonders. Good luck to everyone launching soon!
I like tapping to release anxiety. For me I found that this works amazing. Plus, yes, just preparing to it.

Launching soon!
I agree with you. Taking deep breaths and visualizing a successful launch can also soothe our nerves. Also, sharing our concerns with a supportive team or friends can provide some relief.
Deep breathing encourages full oxygen exchange, helping to slow down your heart rate and stabilize blood pressure, thereby reducing stress and anxiety.
Great thoughts from many of you! I wish I read that earlier and not on my launch day 😄 in case anyone wants to relieve my stress and upvote me, here is the launch link - https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Same question! 😵 I think it's the mixture of excitement, anxiety, and expectation that makes it super impossible to remain calm down! 😣😣😣
I agree with you that, at the end of the day, everyone has done their best in preparing to launching their product... and once that realisation kicks in, that's when your mind gradually calms down... or so I think 😅

Launching day is just hard to keep calm.
Totally agree with the idea that excitement and nerves often go hand in hand during launches! For me, it helps to remind myself that no launch is perfect, and any hiccup is just part of the journey. Preparing as much as possible beforehand is key, but after that - it's about enjoying the ride and learning from whatever comes next. Deep breaths and keeping perspective always help!
Staying calm during a launch is like asking a cat not to knock things off the table. Not gonna happen! 😂 But seriously, I love the idea of channeling all that nervous energy into excitement. And when you know you’ve prepped as much as humanly possible, it’s a little easier to kick back and say, ''Alright, let’s see what happens!'' Worst case, if things go off-script, at least you’ll have an interesting story to tell later!
Asking the same question haha. I guess have a team that’s going through it with you can help a lot

Keep communication open with your team or stakeholders to ensure that everyone is on the same page and aware of what's happening at all times.
you have a very dope project!!! do you have an integration systems with all social media (like insta, x etc)?
Yep! If you've done all you can, there's nothing else to do but bite your nails and hide in the corner.. haha!
During launches, it's normal to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. Focus on staying organized, trusting your preparation, and staying flexible to handle any unexpected challenges. Keep your mindset positive and celebrate small wins along the way.
