How do you manage your time as a founder/co-founder?

Do the most difficult and important things yourself, delegate the rest to the team. If it is a very simple and primitive job, then you can generally look for outsourcing.

Hey Ashit, great question! Time management as a founder is so important. I try to handle the things that only I can do as a co-founder, like marketing and doing outreach. Automation is a lifesaver for things like repetitive customer support questions we receive on our products' websites - we created our own AI live chat for that reason. And honestly, I’ve learned to ignore or say no to things/people that don’t align with our core goals - otherwise, it’s easy to get pulled in too many directions. What about you?

You got to do everything all at once, but we use the OKR-framework to stay top of mind with our goals, and that works super great. I highly recommend it.

I like to block high-focus time at the start of the day where I do the most important stuff, and then a bit more time later in the day for less important tasks.

By aligning them

One strategy that works for me is sharing exactly what I’m working on with my girlfriend. Since she’s naturally interested, she regularly checks in on my progress, which keeps me motivated and on track. A great way to stay accountable is to tell others what you plan to accomplish—once it’s out there, you’ll feel compelled to follow through rather than risk looking like you’re all talk.
