Yes. They follow the lean startup methodology to manage their projects.
Many factors could hinder your productivity.
If you happen to be a perfectionist, you probably have struggled to launch your project right now or even get started.
What is lean startup methodology?
The Lean Startup provides a scientific approach to creating and managing startups and getting the desired product to customers' hands faster.
One of the core components of the Lean Startup methodology is the feedback loop: The build-Measure-Learn cycle. It’s especially vital in the case of startups. After turning ideas into products, startups are especially focused on seeing how the customers or the market respond to their products and assess whether they should continue or just cut their losses and run.
This methodology is very useful for indie hackers. I decided to make this methodology into a system.
Notion is a very good app to organize your startups. So I spent the last month implementing this methodology into the Notion template. It is packed with all the features you need to plan, organize, and deliver projects on time.
I implemented a lot of useful features like smart tasks to do, user stories backlog, “MOSCOW” prioritization techniques, timeboxing and market analysis tool, etc. This is the only workflow you need to turn your ideas into products.

I’m calling it “Lean Startup OS”. You can get the template here.
Hope it helps you work faster :)
