Do you continue working after your shift ends?

It all depends. If we are so involved in the task and there are other tasks depending on that and you feel like tomorrow it will be hard to handle other tasks related to it and also if it makes things easy for your other team members. YES will Continue working after shift ends
Ezgi Aydın
@harsha_vardhan01 you are right, sometimes we have to think about our team as well
Luis Enrique Medina
It really depends. Sometimes you are so involved in the task at hand that you just wanna power through another hour because you get the feeling that tomorrow it will be hard to get into that "focus zone".
Ezgi Aydın
@medinaluis Absolutely agree. I tend to lose that motivation and focus on the next day
Murali Gottumukkala
For me its the daily goal, I cannot stop until i finish it or have an actionable progress for the next day
Ezgi Aydın
@murali_aasaan such a great work ethic but doesn't it make you feel burned out from time to time?
Murali Gottumukkala
@ezgi_aydin Yes, but being co-founder everyday brings a new challenge so closures are much needed on simple and achievable tasks

Every day, I decide not to do but .... 😪
Ezgi Aydın
@sansa_grey I tell myself the same every time...
Heleana Grace
As a founder of a growing startup, I have to, any tips for improving? 😅
Ezgi Aydın
@heleana that startup is your baby I totally understand you wanting to work long hours on it. Just try not to overwork yourself
Heleana Grace
@ezgi_aydin She really is, tbh. It feels more like passion than work! We just launched a cool new thing on PH actually. Would you mind checking it out? :) I'd love to see what you think! producthunt.com/posts/saas-video-script-templates

Generally I avoid, but its the need of the hour

@murali_aasaan some days are like that
Csaba Zajdo
As the CEO of OptiMonk, I have to work extra hard to achieve my goals.
Ezgi Aydın
@zajdo_csaba when you are trying to achieve your goals it feels less like work

only on Monday :)
Ezgi Aydın
@nancy_talton why Mondays? I guess i tend to finish work earlier on Mondays because it isn't one of my productive days
Nancy Talton
@ezgi_aydin That's Good for you
Arpan
At times, yes.
Ezgi Aydın
@arpan_011 it happens unfortunately
Daniel Burns
As one of the co-founders and the CEO in a growing company, I have to juggle between a lot of things to make everything run smoothly, so I tend to overwork for extended periods of time, unfortunately.
Ezgi Aydın
@testifi it happens when your work load is too much
Abid Unnisa
I used to. But I have learnt the hard way, its necessary to finish on time to avoid burnout.
Software Guy (Aarvy)
Yes, sometimes I have pending work so I have to complete that during extra shifts.
Ezgi Aydın
@software_guy that happens to me too
FCG Pandey
Yes, probably. Where I worked if we were nearly done or to a good stopping point we stayed to complete the job and did not ask any overtime pay. Get latest & breaking news of financial news startup.

your shift ends when your deliverables of the day are finished. Shouldn't work after that :-)
Ezgi Aydın
@saurabhwadhawan some days I can't stop myself and work a few hours more after my shift ends

@tyhlfn some days it is better than leaving the task
