It just happened. I was writing and used “I needed to download some money” instead of using “withdraw” 🤣 Still think it’s legit cz when you download something, it’s with you - on your machine/gadget. Otherwise it’s there, in the cloud. Anyone with the same vibe? 🤣🤣

One more FRIEND-ly user of the Shoplist app - my bestie Sasha! Ngl, it's such a confidence boost - I keep finding future Help Receivers (still thinking of a name for my users 😂) P.S. She loved my Happy Socks app idea too, I guess we be buildin 😉 #MakingPersonalizedApps

When you move out of your parents’ home, even if you just move to another district or city, let alone country, don’t forget to go back every now and then to touch base. Go back to the roots to strengthen your own core, it’ll help you keep going in the direction you’ve chosen.

Continuing to explore the market, here is an insight: Some people don’t use notes or paper to write down what to buy, they add it to their wishlists on marketplaces like Yandex or Wildberries and whatnot. And then they order a delivery. Less effort (almost) always wins.

What does being “ready” mean to you? Like in the sense of “it’s time to visit this, learn that, do this”? Here’s a glimpse of my insights (on a subject of visiting Leo Tolstoy’s estate in Tula, Russia):

I showed Build on Beeper to my friend Alana who’d definitely benefit from it since she’s on all kinds of messengers. Here’s how it went: Beeper: *prompts her to first install the app on a pc* Alana: “ok bye” 🤷🏼‍♀️ Less effort (almost) always wins.

Helped a guy on the bus to switch the sound from speakers to earphones in Zoom. The day is not wasted 🤣

I was walking down the street holding my phone in one hand and not listening to music. All of a sudden, I pulled my phone closer to my face to SKIP A THOUGHT instead of a song on Spotify 🤣

I have two modes in a store: 1. Don’t talk to me, Ms Consultant, I know what I want already and don’t need your advice 2. Stop just standing there! I NEED HELP OVER HERE!!!!! (But my face says otherwise ofc)

“Is Polina in today? Isn’t she like an IT wizard”? Made my morning 💜 I like being the smartest person in the room but I also like to be the one who has a lot to learn, being in front of a vast ocean of yet uncovered knowledge. Paradox 🤣

TIL how to go around admin rights restrictions. I wanted to add a program to a Task Scheduler and couldn’t cz they cut our rights 🤣 Ty shell:startup and Microsoft’s “install webpage as app” function and its “auto start on device login”. Feeling OP today!!!

The one and only benefit of being sleep-deprived: I’m too tired to care about the shit that’s going down at work and I’m still as efficient. Stress- and anxiety level is all time low and I’m weirdly satisfied 😁

Some people learn new skills just for themselves. Not necessarily to change jobs. Learn to code to make yourself a personal assistant. Do your own nails. Do the blueprints for your bathroom yourself. With the help of YouTube 😉 It’s empowering af to know YOU CAN DO IT.

Life is 10% the facts and 90% the attitude.
