Only way to do it is to get up super early. You need the highest bandwidth possible. But Your at a disadvantage against founders who are free from 9-5. So you will be outcompeted. But you could use the time to make a plan or simple prototype and grow from there, either through funding or customer traction.

@sentry_co I hear you Andre. My day starts at 6 AM and ends at 11 PM with breaks only for eating and gym. I'm looking to end this cycle as soon as my app gets traction
@iskandarchacra If anything. The hustle builds strong mental models that you will need in the next levels of the game 🦾

When working long hours and weekends on a project, I schedule a weekend off once every four weeks.
@silisolutionist usually i only take time off when i feel like it would make me more productive than not taking it. but scheduling it ahead of time sounds way more reasonable. thanks for the suggestion Pam!

@iskandarchacra I'll pass the thanks on to my mentor. :-)
1. Prioritize tasks and set clear goals.
2. Use evenings and weekends efficiently.
3. Avoid burnout by scheduling breaks.
4. Delegate or outsource when possible.
5. Stay organized and minimize distractions.
@celine_kayo those suggestions all sound great Celine, thanks!
