The Month That Wasn't: Warming Up
Oct 1, 2021
I’m officially one month into building Loopin full-time. Here’s a quick update of everything that happened last month — personal, professional, and everything in between!
1. Met more people “first time” this month than the entire year put together! (IRL + virtual)
Here's an auto generated insight from my calendar:
2. Struggling to keep up with a schedule
Context: For overlap with my India team, I start my day early
Challenge: Reduced energy levels mid-day and going to bed early
Here are a few tricks I've tried so far:
Matching tasks based on my energy level through the day
Centering my focus through minute long meditations before work blocks
Reducing distractions through focus modes on phone and App time limits
Sleep meditations to wind down
3. Started OnDeck Founders program
The most amazing community of talented founders and operators that I’ve come across. The energy of this group is phenomenal (and highly contagious).
4. Keeping up with Loopin
Noticing lower sign-up rates from organic social, largely from LinkedIn
Kickstarted content creation after a brief break to revisit SEO strategy
Shared Loopin on beta product listing websites: here and here
5. Exciting stuff coming up this month
Onboarding early waitlist users
Building a community of productivity enthusiasts
Redesigning Loopin website
