I used to treat the workday like I was supposed to be “on” the whole time. Like from 9 to 5, my brain should just keep performing if I drank enough coffee and forced myself hard enough. But honestly, that never really worked. By 2 or 3 PM, I’d still be sitting there, but my brain was basically gone. I wasn’t resting, but I also wasn’t doing real work. Just kind of staring at things and feeling guilty

So lately I’ve been trying to plan my day around energy instead of just time. If I know I’m clearer in the morning, I put the harder stuff there. Writing, planning, decision-making, anything that needs actual brainpower. When I know I’m probably going to dip, I save the easier stuff for then, like emails, cleaning up notes, or admin. I’ve also been trying Timing because it gives me a rough energy curve for the day, and it helps me decide when to push and when to back off a bit. I don’t follow it like a rulebook, but it has made me feel less guilty about taking breaks when I’m clearly not functioning anyway. Curious if anyone else plans work this way, or if you just try to power through the whole day?

My friends and I have been looking for some cozy&casual apps or games we can play together online while hanging out on voice chat. We’re mostly after something low-pressure, fun to play as a group. Drawing games, social games, or anything that works well for relaxed group hangouts would be great. What have you all enjoyed?

Lately I’ve been cutting a lot of interview/podcast-style content into short-form clips, and I’ve realized the hard part isn’t actually the editing itself. It’s making the videos feel more engaging and visually dynamic.

Things like:

animated captions

zoom-ins or punch-ins based on what’s being said

motion graphics

decorative stickers

These are all things I see in a lot of high-performing short videos.

I’ve tried using CapCut and Premiere templates, and they can get somewhat close to what I want, but I still end up spending a lot of time manually setting keyframes and adjusting everything.

What I’m basically looking for is a tool that:

can process long interview footage and automatically detect moments to add motion graphics

doesn’t make the video look overly “AI-generated”

is relatively affordable, ideally suitable for beginners or people on a tight budget

Curious what tools people here are actually using in their workflow.

Hi guys. I work for a stationery company. I tried big tools like Apollo before but they are too hard for me. I just want to find the right sales or export person and email them quickly. I do not have much time to search around. I used acciowork recently and it was very easy. It finds suppliers and sends the email for me.I am only an employee but my boss said he will pay for a good tool. Do you have other recommendations for simple tools like this? I just want to reach out to vendors without the stress. Thanks!
