60h-80h

I think I lost my counting at this point 🤣 all I can say it takes up more than 60h/week and ofc work on weekends when needed. At the moment Klu needs our full involvement cause we are growing way too fast!

The fullest time 80 hours
If your startup is a side hustle I guess that 25-30 hours are okey
Nearly 70 hours per week I would say.
Despite automations and productivity hacks, hard work and real focus is required to make this work.
However I prefer this over any 9-5 job as I value my freedom more
Part time
About 40 hours, it's my only job for now, so want to make sure I do everything possible (but I'm not a CEO, so don't usually do more than 40)

I have many other tasks, so probably no more than 20 hours
I combine my startup with employment. But anyway I invest at least 20 hours a week in a startup.
Definitely the fullest of time
full time for me
findcool.tools
when i was first building findcool.tools, probably 4-5 hours a day.
now, maybe 2-3 if i'm doing anything code related. if i'm doing more admin-type work, then maybe an hour.
WhatsApp CRM
full time my be around 40-50hr

Around 20 to 40hours
Probably like 30.
I read through this whole entire thread and it seems like everyone is really working so many hours. Make me wonder how many of those hours are actually productive or if people are even enjoying the process.
I feel like we should more normalize that fact you can still build a company without working yourself to death and stress.

@wyatt_feaster I definitely DO NOT enjoy all aspects - there are many I just have to get through because I cannot necessarily hire for those jobs yet. However, there are so many things that I do that I wouldn't trade for anything that make those mundane so much easier to get through! I would say that being a busy parent makes you more productive because you have to timebox pretty much all your working hours.
@jane_crowell That's totally fair. What are the areas you feel are your least favorite? I can only imagine how much harder it is as a fulltime parent too. Go you!

I spend most of my waking time working on my startup at the moment, so maybe 80 - 100.
