If the value does not outweigh the cost, proceed with caution. I say this to myself as I resist trying trendy games on Facebook. #mentalwellness #mindfullness #presentmoment

Netflix doesn't cost Rs. 499,
it costs you your time.

Pepsi doesn't cost Rs. 25,
it costs you your health.

Social media isn't free,
it costs you your focus.

There is always a hidden cost.

Remember the Golden Management quote -
"When something is free, You are the product"

Doing some research on #mentalwellness trackers I found this gem. Addiction to package tracking is a thing! "60% of people who make purchases online check their delivery status daily, or, even multiple times a day. " #productivitytip https://t.co/hD8RdAocDA

@AprilynneA Cold DMs is like a Swiss knife for entrepreneurs starting from scratch—with way more plans than connections. This thread is super helpful. Thanks!

@xixiolive I like it! A good strategy to set a baseline and move forward.

@audreygalo I often find myself saying "I see things differently" instead of "I disagree". It is my way of inviting others to see things through my lens. It is empowering and transformative.

@AlfalfaAnne Today inadvertently I fashioned one of my daughter's scrunchy at the gym. It had a unicorn horn. I looked #ridiculous. #SlowDown

@xixiolive This is from one of my favorite books: "Make sure every day you do what matters most. When you know what matters most, everything makes sense. When you don’t know what matters most, anything makes sense.”

@alina_thinks As a solopreneur, you can create competition in existing markets or a new market altogether. I am curious about where the innovation value is for a creator?

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

Modern technology forces us to establish systematic approaches to being productive and creative; however, humans are their MOST creative selves in nature. There is an urgent need for tech-transparent ways to return our interaction with nature to the forefront. #TechForGood

Happy Father’s Day to my best friend.

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

And this is true even without counting the 2020!

One of the biggest lessons in startups:

Things always take longer than you expect

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

Using technology as an enabler, not a solution to renew human’s relationship with nature. Love this. Davidson Prize winner HomeForest uses #smarttech to recreate "forest bathing" in your home https://t.co/pjhUxFGp8I via @dezeen #innovation

@maya_lingam @ecospot_io You rock! Good luck with @ecospot_io !

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

Excited to see startups like @ecospot_io using gamification to create sustainable behavior for a healthier future. It starts at school. Interview with
@maya_lingam https://t.co/Gia1iI4Ia4 Where can I find similar efforts in the US? #techforgood #femalefounder #startups

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

Talking and co-creating with users have been the best part of my #femalefounder journey thus far. I wish we had started this process earlier; we have learned so much in just a few days. #buildinpublic #startup

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

@AashniSShah I have cried at so many virtual weddings, baby showers, and graduations of my younger cousins back home. The pandemic has definitely brought us all closer!

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

It takes a village to raise a founder. No one has all the answers and a founder's journey can be pretty lonely. Unlock the power of your communities. #femalefounders #latinasintech #startups

@kayciesta Passion trumps everything.

[Claris Castillo @colibrigia]

@alina_thinks A creator has an urge to bring something to existence, almost altruistically. A solopreneur is called to make a successful business out of it. The latter casts a judgement on what the first does, it validates it.
