Being a solo founder, how do you balance between product development and marketing?

Especially if you're a tech founder, it's a challenge to balance between doing R&D for product, development, testing, ship features while focusing on marketing (discussion, commenting, image/video editing, social media posting, being super active in Twitter and many more).
For me, it's always a crucial step to hover on. I prefer to work on product one week and then work on the marketing the next week. This gives at least 40% focus on each side (I keep 20% for other tasks).
Few things I do on a regular basis - like writing posts in Linkedin daily, without fail. LIke making a sort of habit to build an audience. Making a habit reduced the effort somehow.
How do you prefer to tackle this hurdle?

0. Do development, first MVP
2. Bring X customers as soon as possible, no matter how
3. Collect feedback
4. Go to 1 but this time it is not MVP, but satisfying your customers
It is really that simple and balances thing naturally.
