Just started our start-up journey in January, now two months in and our to-do list is looking pretty impressive. Well, more scary... With one month to go to our planned alpha launch there is a lot to do for a three man team.<p>At the same time, one of the team is renovating a house, another has a 6 month old baby and I'm expecting twins (slight lie, my wife is - still I share the panic!).<p>Would be really good if anyone has some top tips on staying organised and on top of workloads, tried many solutions but not found one that really works for me yet. Also where do you guys find time to fit everything in?
That's a good question. For myself, I've been implicitly applying many of the principles I learned in 37signal's (free) book "Getting Real". Especially the parts about being lean and prioritizing tasks.<p>Another aspect that keeps me sane is constantly deploying updates. This might not apply now as you're building up to your alpha. But I find having too many features "on-deck" takes up brain cycles. And just getting it out live takes a load off my brain that allows me to focus more on new features.
