3 sites you must add to your morning routine

I’ve experienced this same pattern throughout my career.

New thing drops → everyone goes crazy → I’m too busy → I feel I’m falling behind

It happened when apps were the “in thing” and I’d be trying to keep up as a designer on the new apps released. Then the same with social media tools and “viral tips” - and of course right now, with AI.

It feels like every 24 hours the world is losing their mind over the hottest new AI thing.

Last week we had Midjourney Video drop, Claude Code became the talk of the town and apparently Mark Zuckerberg is out in the streets dropping $100 million signing bonuses 🤑

In between all of that, we have our own lives to live (but we fear falling behind, too!)

Now here are some cheat codes that can keep you tapped into the game

1. There’s An AI For That - https://theresanaiforthat.com/

• Catalogs thousands of AI tools across every category with user ratings and descriptions that cut through marketing fluff.

• Updates constantly with the latest releases, keeping you ahead of AI trends before they go mainstream.

• Helps you quickly find specific AI solutions for problems you're facing right now.

2. Product Hunt - https://www.producthunt.com/

• Community-voted daily list of the most promising new products before they hit mainstream awareness.

• Direct access to founders and early adopters sharing real-world performance insights in comments.

• Takes 5 minutes to scan but keeps you informed about emerging trends across all industries.

3. Reddit r/startups - https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/

• Unfiltered insights from active founders sharing both victories and failures with brutal honesty.

• Regular discussion threads where entrepreneurs share what problems they're solving and what's actually working.

• Community calls out trends and tools based on direct experience rather than marketing hype.

Five minutes each morning and I know what's happening before it becomes "the thing everyone's talking about."

The trick is being selective.

You don't need to read every post or try every tool. Just scan, bookmark what looks interesting, and move on with your day.

Trust me - next time someone drops a reference to some new AI tool or startup drama, you'll actually know what they're talking about. And that feeling never gets old.

Until next time,
