I made a site that crowdsources the top productivity tips

Hey Indie Hackers,

If we are the engines that run our startups, productivity is the speed ⚡️

So I created 50 Hacks: the top 50 productivity hacks chosen by the internet, and you!

Anyone can write tips that help them get things done—no account needed. The internet upvotes the best ones.

Indie Hackers are known for getting a million things done, looking forward to reading your hacks!

Psst... I hid an easter egg


EDIT: Launched on Reddit yesterday and got 700,000 views 🤯 so I'm adding a few moderation tools as we speak!

    I'm glad "don't multitask" made it to #2. People tend to think they're being hyper-productive while multi-tasking but they couldn't be any further from the truth IMO.

    When someone brings you a task don't put it in your todo box, do that task immediately.

    But what the heck is this? If I changed gears every time somebody wanted me to do something, I'd be completely frazzled and ineffective. I guess it could be ok for very small tasks that come in occassionally. But overall, I completely disagree.

      Glad my tip made it to #2 lol

      The app is fairly new, it needs more time for the best tips to show up—but it will at some point 😊

      Thanks for checking Toni (or not Toni? 😆)

    This is a really cool project! There are some really useful productivity hacks and also some that made me smile.

    Were you surprised when the project did so well on Reddit? How did you handle the surge in traffic to the site?

      Had you seen the tips yesterday before I added downvotes and profanity filter... 🙈

      I was not expecting anything from Reddit and it took 2 hours to take off, so definitely surprised! I write more about what happened on this Twitter Thread if you're curious

        I was more thinking about the suggestion from one user to do this:

        Always eat cheese to start your day. In going so you will gain enough sleep and power for the whole day.

        Thanks for sharing the thread. It sounds like some people were posting some pretty gnarly stuff. Good job on quickly adding a profanity filter and moderating things!

          Thanks for checking it out David~
