My Bad habits as an Indie Hacker
I have some bad habits as an Indie Hacker
These are some of the bad habits that I have seen over the last 3 years. I tried to get rid of these, hopefully you will too.
- Having second thoughts
- Lose interest after the honeymoon period
- Having imposter syndrome
- Try to bite more than you can chew
- Don't know when to move on

Thanks @HaKr. I think self reflection and deciding what habits to shed and what habits to acquire are essential . Also analysing ones own emotions. There are strong urges that can play havoc in success.
Mine was being obsessed with ideas I came up with, which are basically worthless. I’m not the sort of person who just thinks up good ideas, they are normally pretty bad ones. I need something more systematic to select product ideas than inspiration.
However the urge to think ah I need this thing and this idea is so cool had to be tamed. Just because I need it doesn’t mean I can find a market for it. The ideas are often too bespoke or too weak i.e. not enough of a pain.
I am now pretty happy to have an idea and just forget it. Because I can always brainstorm problems at any time and I’ll have too many anyway!
Sorry, what exactly are you trying to tell me? Is this just public self-reflection?

serial offender of that too
Well this was insightful to me at least. As an indie hacker, I can relate to a lot of what he shared. Having someone on the other side of the river telling you that it's okay to feel the way you do and that you can get pas those feelings is extremely motivating.
As an indie hacker, I picked up some bad habits and once I started breaking those habits, things improved, at least for me.
Thanks for the insights man. Keep rocking!
Happy to share my experience!
