Question

Hey Product Hunters! 🚀 I'm a student at the University of Toronto studying computational cognition and computer science, hustling to keep up with classes while also working on my startup and trying to maintain a social life (phew!). But I've learned a few tricks along the way, including finding some clever loopholes to keep my productivity levels up and keep myself accountable.

What are some unconventional productivity hacks you've discovered to keep you on top of your game?💡

Jean Gatt · Accepted Answer

One productivity hack I like to use is using the app limits on my iPhone, to limit time on social apps to 15 minutes a day.

I'd love to hear about the tricks you've found especially to keep yourself accountable!

Using surfkey.io to auto-scan reddit for relevant conversations. That way I don't have to manually go to fav subreddits and look for convos where I can offer help and plug the product when it makes sense.

To do lists & planning the week in advance, but understanding that there will be unplanned things that will take my time.

@jean_gatt great to hear that! I try to get all the important stuff out of the way first. I try to “project manage” my schedule, setting goals for the week and making sure I start and finish the day being productive. Using platforms like Notion, trello and jira also helps me stay on top of everything!

Sterling earlier also helps me avoid any chances of burnout 🧘
