Do you feel overwhelmed too?

by
I've been a solopreneur but now I have a team of 30+ people. I felt overwhelmed by work when I was solo, and now I feel overwhelmed with management tasks. That didn't change 🤠 How about you? Are you a solopreneur or do you work in a team? Do you have this challenge too? How are you coping?

No, maybe because I'm already used to it :)
Cyril Gupta
@nickanisimov That makes two of us mate :). Got any tips?
Nick Anisimov
@cyriljeet Realize that it won't always be like this :)

Yes, every other moment , but then you kind of remind yourself why you chose not to take the easy path .
Cyril Gupta
@therahulv Yep... This is certainly not the easy path... I listen to motivation very frequently. It helps
Rahul
@cyriljeet yes. Even the mantras help create positive energy around you.

Oh yeah all the time I'm afraid ahaha. But focusing on small wins helps me stay grounded and motivated :)
Cyril Gupta
@my_khanh_pham 100% Small wins every day help a lot! Completing my tasks is a win for me

Overwhelm can be a common challenge in today's fast-paced world, but by embracing prioritization, time management, and self-care, we can conquer it and achieve greater productivity and well-being!

@jeremy_j24 Well Jeremy, this something that a LLM would say

For now i will say solopreneur.

@longmenegib How is your work going? Do you feel you are mostly having fun or often overwhelmed.

Yeah, all the time! But over time i think you will find your own way how to cope with it. I know people who just shut down completely for an hour, go for a walk and then blast back through the door and go on. Others just sit on top of their Trello/Jira/Notion/Linear todo list until everything is in order and they can relax. For me personally: i shut down Slack, put my phone on "F**k off" mode, get a piece of paper and write down small tasks. I work on those for a bit and after a while i feel calm enough to get back into it. We'll be launching on August 9th. Would love your support (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)

@moritztomasi Glad to know you built a system that works and Yes, would be happy to give you a push.
Allison Ly
Yes, it's normal to feel overwhelmed especially if you're doing everything yourself. I work in a team and I still feel overwhelmed at times. It's all just learning how to cope. For me, I take a few minutes to collect my breathing, write down my thoughts, and even out my breathing. We launch next week, would love your support! (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)

As a solopreneur, I find that as long as the business is ongoing, it can get quite overwhelming.
