I also like to mix up my environment where I work to keep my mind fresh. It is hard to have a room completely set aside for work, especially in a city like Boston, but I try to designate different tasks to different places where I can work. This keeps me focused. Perhaps similar to RescueTime, I use FocusBooster, an app that sets a time limit for tasks you\\\'re doing to keep you focused and undistracted.

But I do keep an eye on competitors in a few ways: Set up Google Alerts, add them to a private list on Twitter and subscribe to their blog. It\\\'s a bit hands on but I really believe that if you\\\'ve created something unique, it is better for you to just focus on that and not worry about where others are every day. Do you use any competitor tracking tools?

Especially being a freelancer, I have to understand my best working hours and stay motivated throughout the day. My best productivity time seems to change a bit day to day (depending on what is going on that day) but seems to be between 8-10am or 9pm-sleep. I can certainly crank out work at any time during the day, but not AS much as during those hours.

Your support has been amazing :) Wed, 9 Oct 2013 17:56:41 +0000 http://kdmedianow.com/venture/#IDComment732035571 http://kdmedianow.com/startup-inspirations-quality-speed/#IDComment516223252 Kat - definitely see where you\\\'re coming from here and it happens to everyone. It\\\'s hard not to focus on details and want perfection. But in some environments, especially a fast-paced startup environment, sometimes getting something out faster with less quality is more important. Other projects, such as a board deck, for example, must be done meticulously.

Gotta love MacBook cameras. Mon, 8 Aug 2011 20:53:52 +0000 http://kdmedianow.com/video-blog/#IDComment181338616 http://kdmedianow.com/video-blog/#IDComment181172029 Dharmesh - you beat me to it! I was going to tweet this to you this am. One of my inspirations to do this video was actually from reading yours and the other comments on my prior videos and wanting to give a fresh update of myself, what's happening with Backupify and the awesome Boston culture. Thanks again so much for your support and following, it's much appreciated.

It seems that at least in the startup culture, sites like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com are dead and recommendations, personal brands and even Twitter are the way to go to find candidates and jobs. Boston in general is a great community as everyone is so willing to helps others and we're all about networking. Thanks for the comment!

I\\\'m glad you have had a similar situation and enjoy being in the spot you are. Start ups are very exciting to be in. Wed, 6 Apr 2011 13:06:57 +0000 http://kdmedianow.com/expect-working-startup-company/#IDComment140465362 http://kdmedianow.com/expect-working-startup-company/#IDComment131606687 Thank you Jim. I\\\'ve appreciated your support through my journey. I honestly think this is the best job position to get out of college - my learning curve has been exponential and will benefit me throughout my entire career.

Quality is definitely another great one to discuss. I agree, I hear this word tossed around in product descriptions, brand slogans, advertising, etc. Yet when you think of the definition of quality, do many of these offerings really fit that description? Probably not. Thanks for reading!

I was 5 months out of college spending time exploring what I truly liked doing. I found this company and they happened to be looking for a person to do exactly what I found I loved. I liked the industry sector they were in, the location (Boston) and the opportunity to learn and help others learn. I knew this would be a great place for me to begin my career - in a small team where I can learn a lot, help with meaningful and important projects and grow fast. I knew I probably would not get this experience at a huge company where you sit in your cubicle separated off from everyone else.

It's good to know that the word is not as overused and over hyped everywhere - maybe just places like Boston and Silicon Valley. In some cases it can be a good word to use, others it just turns into a blurry phrase that doesn't mean much when it's thrown in with other 'entrepreneurial' words.

Let me know if you need specific help figuring out how to set this up for yourself - I'm happy to help.

It's run via Wordpress. I minimized the plug ins and widgets I had running to keep the speed fast.
