    Some days I continue working after 5 just to finish my tasks. Do you also do that, If so for how long?

    On 2 occasions: 1 I have to finish that task on that day. 2 I have the flow and I know in the following 1-2 hours I could finish more work then on the beginning of the next day

    @heleana that startup is your baby I totally understand you wanting to work long hours on it. Just try not to overwork yourself

    @ezgi_aydin She really is, tbh. It feels more like passion than work! We just launched a cool new thing on PH actually. Would you mind checking it out? :) I'd love to see what you think! producthunt.com/posts/saas-video-script-templates

    In general I do continue to work after my shit has ended. But it might be for 20-30 min or 1-2 hours. It depends if we are near an important sprint release.

    @murali_aasaan such a great work ethic but doesn't it make you feel burned out from time to time?
    Murali Gottumukkala
    @ezgi_aydin Yes, but being co-founder everyday brings a new challenge so closures are much needed on simple and achievable tasks

    At times, yes.

    On some days, yes

    It all depends. If we are so involved in the task and there are other tasks depending on that and you feel like tomorrow it will be hard to handle other tasks related to it and also if it makes things easy for your other team members. YES will Continue working after shift ends

    your shift ends when your deliverables of the day are finished. Shouldn't work after that :-)

    As one of the co-founders and the CEO in a growing company, I have to juggle between a lot of things to make everything run smoothly, so I tend to overwork for extended periods of time, unfortunately.

    Yes, sometimes I have pending work so I have to complete that during extra shifts.

    I used to. But I have learnt the hard way, its necessary to finish on time to avoid burnout.

    I work on my startup before, during and after my shift.

    It really depends. Sometimes you are so involved in the task at hand that you just wanna power through another hour because you get the feeling that tomorrow it will be hard to get into that "focus zone".

    @medinaluis Absolutely agree. I tend to lose that motivation and focus on the next day

    Yes, probably. Where I worked if we were nearly done or to a good stopping point we stayed to complete the job and did not ask any overtime pay. Get latest & breaking news of financial news startup.
