How can you prevent losing the PH strike? 🔥 Tips given

We all know how it hurts when you lose your lovely streak. In one of my posts, I asked what are the most common reasons for losing your strike. 🔥
So I thought of how you could avoid it.
4 things that came to my mind:
🔔 Set reminders
💻 Have an open tab with PH in your browser (on your sight, on your mind)
🛜 Try to avoid travelling to places where there is no wi-fi or even signal (I used to travel to such places within my country a few years back deep into the forest) – but that was a different stage of my life 😀
📱 Try to log in at least 2 times per day. You can also have (I call it “time zone strategy”) – opening the PH during the most popular timezones
(someone's random article about timezones: https://strawpoll.com/most-popular-time-zone )
Do you have any other recommendations that could help?

Great tips as usual! But:
@busmark_w_nika what did you do on November 22, 2022? What was the reason to not be on Product Hunt and lose your streak? :lol:

My strategy is to always have a tab open with PH.
Before the working day starts I refresh the page to see the new launches.
I do the same during my lunch break and after I finish work.
For weekdays I have no problems because they are like working days (lighter though because I manage what and how much to do).
I don't yet know what strategy I will adopt during my days off (I only have 240 consecutive days), however I can't remember a day that I didn't open the PC.

@nicola_lanzilotto It is like creating a habit. But honestly, when I had a rush day, I almost forgot. It was when I travelled. So I decided to setup notifications.
To make sure I don't losing my PH strike I will definitely follow your advice.Thanks 😉

Thanks for the tips, Nika. I am very bad at maintaining the PH streak 😂. Someone suggested using the PH mobile app to maintain streaks.

@savia_salaria I do not use the app at all :D That's why I am a total idiot when I enter it once a year :DD do not know what is where :D

Solid advice! Another tip is to log in at the same time ever day so it becomes a habit.

@michael_baumgartner Creating habit! 💯 That's the point we want to achieve. Then it is hard to break it.
These tips are so useful! As I just joined PH, this definitely helps me a lot on keeping PH strike, thanks a lot!
Fantastic tips! Thanks for sharing
Launching soon!
Good advice!
For me email notifications about new discussion helps. These are a hook for me because there is a lot of really interesting topics, so it's sort of magnet for me to open the product hunt :D
I find the app to be the most effective, it's much easier for me compared to the desktop. I just casually browse it once/twice a day while travelling/some other daily routine activity and it's almost a habit now.

@kshitij11 It depends on the "device consumption". Many people are "mobile only". I am a bit exception cause 95% of my time I am on desktop (easier and faster for writing) :D
@busmark_w_nika that's true too. For me, I usually use my laptop for work so risk losing the streak of weekends without my phone haha
I have a calendar reminder & I have PH on my phone- the app is clunky & doesn't allow me to upvote but it works fine for the most part

@my3_murthy I thought that only my app was a little bit off but it seems that is a general problem. :D
@busmark_w_nika Yeah- its weird- sometimes it doesn't let me comment, but if I close the app & reopen, it works fine! lol
Why do you all care so much? Why do you think the PH strike if for?

@narcismirandes I think that it is a mixture of the competitive nature of a human being + addiction. :D we are weak :DDD
@busmark_w_nika
Great tips, Nika! 🔥
I’ve found that setting reminders and keeping a PH tab open are lifesavers.
I think I might lose my streak once I am going on a tour, because I love staying out of the network and in case I am severely sick. If I am okay to operate, then I think I will try to keep the streak going. I look forward to building a great streak with this community and also building amazing connections. 🔥
setting a reminder is what I do too, but I find it too distracting to have PH tabs open. I found myself peeking in every hour when I first joined here and had some tabs open.

It's the saddest thing ever when you lose your streak. I got to 22 days, was too busy travelling to login and lost it. :(
What really helps me is having the PH app on my phone. And having a reminder on my phone.

@sarahthemarketer are you about to start again with your streaks? :)
I have a habit "Check PH" in my Habitify app :)
