How can you prevent losing the PH strike? ๐Ÿ”ฅ Tips given

by
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. ๐Ÿ”ฅ So I thought of how you could avoid it. 4 things that came to my mind: ๐Ÿ”” Set reminders ๐Ÿ’ป Have an open tab with PH in your browser (on your sight, on your mind) ๐Ÿ›œ 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) โ€“ but that was a different stage of my life ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ“ฑ Try to log in at least 2 times per day. You can also have (I call it โ€œtime zone strategyโ€) โ€“ opening the PH during the most popular timezones (someone's random article about timezones: https://strawpoll.com/most-popul... ) Do you have any other recommendations that could help?

Why do you all care so much? Why do you think the PH strike if for?

Thanks for the tips, Nika. I am very bad at maintaining the PH streak ๐Ÿ˜‚. Someone suggested using the PH mobile app to maintain streaks.

@busmark_w_nika ๐Ÿ˜‚ ok.

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.

@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

These tips are so useful! As I just joined PH, this definitely helps me a lot on keeping PH strike, thanks a lot!

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

@busmark_w_nika Great tips, Nika! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Iโ€™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. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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.

@busmark_w_nika oh yes! Gonna try my best to

1.Just put on my to-do-list at the first. 2.Make it a habit to wake up every day and look at the number one posting first!

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:

Need more upvotes!
Slack notifications work best for me. Also acting there itself. I dont clear the Slack notification if i havent upvoted so it stays on my phone

Ah, losing that Product Hunt streak feels like dropping your phone - painful! To prevent it, think of your PH login like your morning coffee - essential and non-negotiable. Keep that streak brewing! โ˜•
