Possibly too excited to get back in the office tomorrow (Sat at my laptop in the spare room).
Some of the To Dos:
Continue creating a style guide the right way.
Continue prototyping new UI/UX.
Continue researching staking mechanisms.
Drop new Prompt Share in Discord.
I'm building @DankestAI with a cpl of punks.
Getting ppl API Keys is a bit clunky, learning to use the tool isn't the easiest because it doesn't have pre-set prompts in the bg helping you out.
But, it's early days, a lot of updates in the worx and you can make AMAZING art rn!
New Post: Everything you need (and way, way more)
This is a list for me. I hope it helps you too.
We truly live in profound times.
The tools are out there to start, create, build, and run nearly infinite projects or businesses.
Ideas have never been easier to find, explore, and test.
Customers have never been easier to find.
Everyone is reachable.
There’s never been more data to find insights within and find niches to serve; niches divide like viruses.
Code nearly writes itself. No code tools are helpful and everywhere.
Images have never been easier to generate, manipulate, and remix; templates exist for almost everything.
Shitposting works.
Contrast works.
The key is to ignore nearly everything once you find what you’re going after.
Ignore the news.
Ignore politics.
Ignore outrage.
Ignore the main character of the day, messiah, villain, or both.
Ignore the newsletters.
Ignore the podcasts.
Ignore TikTok.
Ignore generic advice.
Ignore “insights” or “learnings” unless they apply to what you’re doing right now.
Ignore the pseudo-health suggestions.
Ignore your competitors.
Ignore shiny new ideas (especially when you’re stuck on the thing you’re really going after).
Ignore anything that falls into the bucket of “watching rich people”.
Ignore rearranging your productivity suite or anything that isn’t work but feels like work.
Ignore easy puzzles.
Ignore cheap dopamine to the best of your ability (it’s everywhere, man!).
Ignore silver bullets.
Ignore most people, celebrities, group chats, discords.
Take care of your physical and mental health
Take care of yourself, whatever that means to you, however it makes you happy and feel good.
Create more than you consume.
Consume great stuff, not just feeds.
Sleep 7-8 hours.
Don’t fade the power of a good nap.
Mute terms and people liberally. Block when you need to.
Block distracting websites and apps.
Turn nearly all of your notifications off.
Put your phone in another room.
Put on good music.
Make a list. Do the list. Do it again.
Take deep breaths.
Open a window and get some fresh air.
Understand that the good work, the good run, the good lift, flow, is just on the other side of that initial discomfort.
People like to be asked to be included in things. Ask.
Call your mom.
Call a friend.
Pet a dog.
On building
The tools are out there to accelerate whatever you’re trying to make or build.
Winning customers and corralling the right kind of attention is the only thing that matters - in fact it’s the only thing that ever has.
It’s likely not done by finishing your work and sending a single tweet. It’s done by repeating a message over and over and over and over again.
People think about you way less than you think they do. Keep pushing your own thing; you won’t annoy them.
Get a customer or a user, then get the next one.
Do things that don’t scale.
Don’t scale prematurely. You’ll know when you need to scale something up.
Ship earlier than you think is necessary.
Get alpha users as early as possible.
Momentum is everything.
Ask people why they like your thing. Ask people why they don’t like it.
Ask them to share it. Ask them to share it often.
It’s your job to apply, not to vote yourself out of the contest before you’ve even started.
---
Get started.
And then keep going.
Go.
(yes, you)
This is an incomplete list. Feel free to remix as needed for you.
I found this amazing output with @DankestAI today, and I wanted variations...
I'm exploring one feature at a time so I thought I'd play with 1 word in the prompt: "soft"
In the gen deets below I have made the word soft bold and placed the other words I used in it's place to get the variations.
Here's my fave outputs from the study and the full gen deets.
Enjoy.
