Motivation is not usually a problem for founders, per se. But perhaps staying motivated on the "right" thing is (i.e. writing on the truly highest priority task).<p>How do you stay focused and on track through the many ups and downs of creating a new company/product while being as a solo founder? Is self motivation enough? Peer groups? Do you hire a project manager to help keep you organized? If the latter, tell me more.
This has been an issue for me.<p>Sometimes I work 60 hour work weeks, sometimes am down to 10.<p>As far back, as I can remember. I've never been one to have consistent energy levels.<p>But a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon something: automation.<p>As a solo founder, you do a lot of stuff by yourself; emails, calls, coding, finance etc<p>But most of this, if you're a tech startup, can be automated. For free.(if you're a programmer that is)<p>For me, i automated email replies, how they got sorted in my inbox depending on the priority. Same case to calls, and my calendar events.<p>My energy levels are still unpredictable. But at least now, there's not that much backlog when I get back to work.<p>I really don't know if this is what you wanted to here... Goodluck anyway.<p>What are you working on?
