A friend suggested that I take some time to appreciate myself for what I had already done since the two-month lockdown. It’s time to cut myself some slack and embody this self appreciation today, before moving on to the future. It probably seems like a humblebrag—”my lockdown productivity report card”—but I don’t care much at this point. If I have to humblebrag a bit to perk myself up a little, I’ll take it.
So I made 7 products over about 2 months. Here’s all of them:
? Tools for COVID-19 - a resource listings site for small-medium businesses affected by COVID. 629 users, 1.3k page views 32 listings, 1 newspaper feature.
? Dabao Dash - a self-help community board matching hawkers and F&Bs with delivery drivers. 8.9k users, 16.9k page views, 220 listings, 2 news features.
?♂️ Majulah Belanja - an offers and requests board for matching donations-in-kind to migrant workers and their employers/dorm operators. 4.3k users, 11.1k page views, 537 listings, a few news features.
?? VisualAid - visual aids of illustrated translations to help healthcare professionals communicate better with migrant workers. 3k users, 5.3k page views, 6 visual aid collections, 3 news features.
? COVID-19 SG Survey - a research and survey site by a sustainability NGO working on COVID data.
☔️ It’s Raining Raincoats-C19-Migrant Workers Help - a information resource site for a migrant worker voluntary group.
? COVID Hiring - a ‘reverse’ job board to help professionals who got lost their jobs due to COVID. The ‘client’ didn’t follow up with launching it, but I still count this as a product completed and handed over.
Work in progress:
? We Tell Stories Community - a video content maker focused on positive stories and messaging during COVID.
? Market List SG - a listing site of online grocers to help Singaporeans diversify their grocery sources and skip queues, even the online queues.
? 4 requests for free creative portfolio sites (to help creatives affected by COVID), of which 1 is work-in-progress.
I think for these two months, I did enough for the rest of the year! Or even next year.
Do I get my break now?
