βš–οΈ Work-Life Balance in Startups: Realistic Goal or Wishful Thinking?

Hey Product Hunt Friends! πŸ‘‹

Startup life is often seen as exciting but stressful, with blurred lines between work and personal life. Many founders and makers advocate hustle culture, while others emphasize balance and wellness.

I’m curious about your personal experiences:

How realistic is work-life balance when you're building a startup or working on a product?

What routines or strategies have helped you maintain mental and emotional health?

Have you seen productivity improve or decline when prioritizing rest and boundaries?

Would love your insights!

Work-life balance in startups is challenging but achievable with discipline. Clear boundaries and smart prioritization make it more than just wishful thinking.

@meghan_henry Agree with you, Meghan. Work-life balance is important for our mental health especially. Going to work burnt out just causes even more problems like lack of focus, etc.
