How do you balance work and personal life when running a business? 😰

Cancel your life for a while to get the core of what you're trying to solve right. the first period is so sensitive and the key is to get it right. then once you know your on the right track. Subscribe partially to your life again. But the mindset must be, your doing this once or a few times in your life. its not forever. so you can afford to give up a lot to gain a lot later. and ask friends and fam to help you, again not forever, the spotlight is on you for a small pocket of time, you can pay it back to them later.

By setting clear boundries

I don’t. It’s either sex or biz 🙅

I don't Work or relax Hard to work on vacation Hard to relax in work mode

You have said a few words I don't understand, sorry... personal life, balance. What language is this.

Prioritizing tasks is key for me. I focus on what’s most important, and that helps free up time for personal life without feeling guilty.

Don't be afraid to delegate tasks to employees or contractors, especially if they can be handled by someone else.

To be honst, I don't balance anything. I wish I could, but I am not able to do that yet. If you are founding your first StartUp you might not be able to have work life balance till you get to the point where most of your processes are up and running, once that happens you start to automate things and delegate other things and in process of trying to achieve that goal, your most important goal should be not to burn out, till your StartUp achieve traction and you get enough clients so that you can pay the bills and focus on growing and figuring out how to optimise things to get some free time for other important things whether for applying more growth hacking or for your personal life, but please try to not burn out and stay healthy, your health is your only caplital in the beginning and will still the most important capital in all stages of your business, if you are not suffering mentally and physically you will suffer from losing very important opportunities and you die to find out how to get out of this struggle and you might struggle for so long without anyone knowing.

by prioritizing the most important parts

For me, scheduling everything (even my downtime) made a huge difference. I used to try multitasking all day, but it left me more stressed. Now, I block time for work and then I’m done for the day. Helps prevent burnout for sure.

I recently pivoted my career from content industry to product industry , so I don't! I feel that If I want to make it big I have to be dedicated towards word! and Bezos also said something similar that "Balance is a myth"

There is no balance

I would say 1. Setting Clear Boundaries - Leave work at a reasonable hour 2. Prioritising Self-Care - Block out time for hobbies, family, and friends 3. Learning to Say No - Politely decline when necessary 4. Asking for Help - Delegate tasks if you can.

I balance work and personal life by setting clear boundaries, like defined work hours and non-negotiable downtime. I prioritize tasks, delegate when possible, and make time for activities that recharge me, like exercise or spending time with loved ones. It’s all about staying organized and being intentional with my time.

hmm - where should I start.... it's an every day struggle, to be honest.

No balance! 😰

As an indie developer, time is like bullets from a shooter – sometimes you wake up and half the day is gone, awkward haha! But here’s the trick: I divide my day into three parts – research, development, and marketing. This way, I gradually find my rhythm. Keep shooting those bullets, but remember to reload with some personal time too!

Here's how I keep things from going haywire: I mix up my work hours. Sometimes, I start early to finish early. It's all about finding what works and at work, I tackle the big fish first. The small fry can wait🙂
