Creators, what’s one thing you wish someone told you before UGC?

Mine would probably be that the video is only part of the job. It’s not the main course of the dish, if you get what I mean.

I went to my friend’s place early one morning to visit, and when I saw the perfumes on their table, my first thought was literally how I’d get the perfect angle for a good shot. I don’t know when that started happening, but I never used to look at random products that way before I started making content for brands. I thought most of the work would be coming up with ideas, filming, scripting, editing, and all that. UGC definitely changed the way I look at random products.

Because then came briefs. Negotiating. All the unfamiliar terms I’d only heard after starting UGC. None of those things are particularly difficult on their own, but they’re a completely different skill set from making a good video. I also learned that a piece of UGC can look great and still not be the right piece of content for a particular brief.

I started using Gemini Notebook for studying, but I realized I was using it wrong

I used to use Gemini Notebook as a regular chatbot, ask a question and receive the answer and go on with my day. However, it was much more helpful when I began substituting the content I learned for broad questions.

I, for instance, loaded my lecture notes and told it to explain a topic with just my lecture notes. So I asked it to identify what it did not know or was misunderstaking about my knowledge. I then used it to create questions that were tailored to the content and not just generic quiz questions.

The trickiest part was to no longer consider it a search engine, and treat it more like a study partner, using the same material as they did.

I still don't know how to do my own notebook organization, which is another thing I want to learn. Do you have one notebook for each semester or more than one subject or do you have notebooks for each topic?

bikepacking without sleeping in a tent is half the fun

i started sleeping outside more often when I got into bikepacking, tbh I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much but eventually i really started to like it

when planning a trip, i plan for camping every night. there’s something about riding all day, finding a quiet place to set up, and just having everything you need in a small bag. No hotel n  no air-cooling also no rushing around….just the sound of the wind and whatever is around the campsite.

i also sleep surprisingly well after a long day of riding. being tired from actually doing something outdoors makes it pretty easy to fall asleep.

the biggest benefit for me is probably how simple everything feels. you carry less, spend less, and don’t really need much.

wake up, pack the bike, make some coffee n keep riding. i think that’s what keeps me coming back, life just feels a lot simpler.

what's the word for encountering an entire field of research and immediately assuming everyone in it forgot to consider the first thing that occurred to you

I'm paid to make people's tedious spreadsheets look totally satisfying, when they don't need to be.

​

I accidentally found one of the weirdest side hustles.

My friends would say to me, “Can you Make this less ugly.” and I began creating spreadsheets for them. Initially, it was formatting -- colors, improved layouts, formulas, dropdowns, etc.

Then there was a man who actually offered me money.

I get the worst emails now with all sorts of spreadsheets, such as expense sheet trackers, inventory lists, school planners, small-business records, and even a guy's list of 700-plus movies.

I'm essentially make spreadsheet mess into something resembling a professional dashboard.

The odd thing is that I don't really market it. The majority of my clients are introduced by someone who sees a spreadsheet I corrected and requests “Wait, can you do mine?”

This is not the Instagram glam side hustle you see on TikTok, but it's actually pretty fun!

The strangest one I've ever received was one person's spreadsheet for keeping track of how many times their roommate forgot to put toilet paper on the toilet.

I remain uncertain of the reason for the need for charts.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you take on some totally random side hustle like this?

They had a cure, the doctors withheld it

In 1932, the US government began a study on Black men with syphilis in Tuskegee, Alabama. The men were not properly informed that they had syphilis, and even after penicillin became an effective treatment, researchers deliberately withheld it to study how the disease progressed

The study continued for 40 years, ending only after the truth became public in 1972

I record myself while studying and listen to the audio while I sleep.

I used to struggle so hard to remember anything I studied for exams, no matter how many times I re-read my notes or highlighted entire textbooks.

Then I decided to try something unconventional. I recorded myself reading my notes out loud and played the audio on loop while I slept.

It started as a random weird experiment, but the next day when I woke up and did a quick review, I remembered what I had studied much more easily.

This honestly beats trying to force active recall all night when you're already exhausted. Passive audio listening turned out to be an effortless way to boost active recall, and it completely changed my retention.
