Work on what matters — and work less

The final category of work that matters is the sort that you’re uniquely capable of accomplishing. Sure there’s work that you’re faster at or better at than some other folks, but much more important is the sort of work that simply won’t happen if you don’t do it.

That's pretty much everything for indie hackers. If we don't do it, no one does. But I think it's valuable to consider when choosing your project — create something that you are uniquely capable of creating. It's sort of an intrinsic moat.

I think that we all have this wrong concept that the idea is the center of any successful project. However, after speaking with a lot of successful entrepreneurs I realize that is more important to find the right audience and really get to know it. That way you can easily iterate through multiple ideas and test them with your target group. I have compiled a step-by-step guide for bootstrappers and my goal with it is to help them reach paying users much faster without wasting time with "snacking"

A lot to learn and put in practice from this article. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great self-question:
Where are areas that are doing ok but could be doing great with your support?
Then, we should focus on it. This is one of the main reasons we love about building uphint.com we are giving back power to people, so they could focus on what really matters instead of wasting precious time doing tutorials (manually-hours).
Nobody enjoys documenting, but it’s actually important to scale any team. It’s just smarter to use automatic documentation (seconds)

Yeah, I find that I have to refuse work. At first, it was scary because I figured things wouldn't get done or I'd make less money, etc. But the truth is that everything that needs to get done will get done. It just means I have to get creative. And I'd rather do that than work 80 hour weeks.
