we are building a wristband that helps be more intentional with how they spend their time, because we believe that the best moments in life happen away from the screen.

live in the moment.

Build something 10 people love, not 100 people like.

People keep telling me the wristband is "too convenient" or "not enough friction", but maxing out friction was never the point: momnt is a reminder on your wrist to live in the moment, the tap is meant to be easy.

Then Will (pictured) tells me the design is perfect for him. That's the signal through the noise.

Rn our CAC is eating us alive, so back to hypothesis testing and niching down the ICP 😭

Somehow productivity maxes out when you need to go to the bathroom but you hold it before you finish off this one last "little" task

[Sean Fang @seanfang_]

Appreciate the little moments every day

Just did another in person sale this morning, gotta do things that don’t scale and talk to customers in real life 💪

Truly a gem as background working music. Fred’s so talented.

The price of avoiding to look like a fool when starting something new is the life-long regret of never starting at all.

This was us sitting with an ugly sign playing loud house music in the middle of Duke's busiest plaza, looking like a fool for momnt's first sales.

Interviewed strangers around Stanford for 2 hours today by myself. Lots of rejections but it's less scary than people think.

Now I get why street interviews blow up: everyone's curious about strangers' answers, but watching is free and asking takes balls.

The best way to counter social anxiety is by telling yourself “you’re going to die, nothing rlly matters”.

P.S. don’t think this life hack works when it comes to asking girls out…

[Sean Fang @seanfang_]

Do more spontaneous stuff.

Saw @fdotinc is hosting an open house night 10min ago, grabbed a hoodie and hopped on a 1hr train to SF. Gonna meet and learn from some cool people building amazing stuff!

If u got some free time and energy, put away scrolling and do more spontaneous stuff, u never know how it’s gonna turn out - but u will never forget the experience like how you have forgotten the last 5 reels u watched

Monday is a cheatcode because I don't have to wait for Jan 1st to add a new habit and have that "fresh start" effect

@fdotinc A wristband that helps people spend time more intentionally

What we call luck is often not purely random, but the result of consistently putting ourselves at the best positions possible.

[Sean Fang @seanfang_]

If you cut down 1 hour of screen time a day, you save 15 days a year.

Let that sink in

@Momnt_official Just the start

🥠 elite level marketing: low cost, high value and so shareable

Building the most effective screen time tool yet, would love feedback on landing page!

[Sean Fang @seanfang_]

@HenryCrochemore Is this the art of doing things that don't scale and that's why it scaled?

[Sean Fang @seanfang_]

Posting content that gets low views to receive feedback from the public is truly a superpower for any founder.
