What's your approach to finding a work-life balance as a solo founder?

Question

I treat my personal life as a non-negotiable feature of my startup. It's not shipped until both work :)

@sonia_ponzo  I'd say exercise is the best! It's great to move at least a little after work. Your app is a great helper!:)

Sonia Ponzo · Answer

I'll tell you when I do lol - jokes aside, I think exercise for me is key to keeping my sanity!

Sonia Ponzo · Answer

@simonas_kauzonas thank you so much :) it's been a life saver!

Answer

Wish I knew the secret sauce lol! For real though, a few things that help me: 1) Ruthless calendaring to block off personal time, 2) Quick midday workouts to recharge, 3) Outsource/automate tasks that eat up time but aren't core to the biz. It's a constant juggling act but those help me keep some semblance of balance!

Setting boundaries is key! Block off dedicated personal time on your calendar and treat it like any other important meeting. Also, find ways to incorporate activities you enjoy into your work day - for me that's going for a walk while taking calls or listening to podcasts. Remember, your mental and physical health directly impact the success of your business!
