How do you handle multiple roles as a founder?

For me, sometimes I am 10, sometimes I'm 30 and sometimes I'm a full 100. Being a founder comes with great responsibility not just for the technical stuff but you have to be considerate and compassionate for your team members as well. But I have worn like a 1000 hats for my startups, sometimes a designer, sometimes a marketer, a content writer, the list goes on and on. What about you?

As a head of a company, I see my role as filling in gaps where needed until I can bring in the right person for the job. The goal is to step back from hands-on tasks and focus on guiding the bigger picture, but in a small business, it’s not always that simple.

I prioritize my tasks using the Eisenhower MATRIX. It helps me figure out what's urgent and important, so I don't get overwhelmed.

Easy Try to delegate Otherwise, it is super hard and almost impossible to be everywhere

It is very overwhelming and I am struggling daily. I try to tackle it with blocking time for each part and fully commit to this specific type of task.

Time-block different hats (CEO Mondays, Dev Tuesdays etc), and know when to start delegating.

As a founder, balancing roles requires prioritization, delegation, and continuous learning to adapt swiftly across different responsibilities.
