What does your typical day look like as a business founder?

What does your typical day look like as a business founder?

Is it something like this? 👇

6am: Wake up (you’ve been told that an early start is better if you want to be productive.)

7am-8am: Wander around in a daze as you try to work out which one of your 10x to-dos you should tackle first. Oh, and find time to eat something.

9am: Start the day. First up: solving a product problem you put to the side yesterday.

10am-12pm: You get distracted by one message and suddenly lose your entire morning to emails.

1pm: Finally getting back to the problem you wanted to solve initially.

3pm: Argh, you found an issue in your financial forecast spreadsheet. Time to find an Excel video on YouTube to help you solve it.

4pm: Meeting with [investor/consultant/mentor]

5pm: Remember you forgot to have lunch. Never mind. Start work on some social media posts.

6pm: That 6am start is hitting you now. Scribble a to-do list for the next day and prepare to do it all again.
