Not gonna lie, sometimes it gets overwhelming as a founder - wearing a lot of hats, lots of context switching doing completely different tasks.
For context, we are a team of two, and our product is completely bootstrapped.
Recently I spent a lot of time coding - rebuilding some of the tech debt of my app from the MVP, completely rewriting the app from the ground up to optimize the app for our users.
As a result, I spent less time marketing the app, and the growth suffered, and I feel terrible about it.
How do you stay mentally well, and motivated in times like these?
I usually work more than 12 hours per day, these days I’m also so busy that I do a half work day on Sundays.
The key concepts for me to stay mentally well and motivated are physical exercise with a minimum of 10 000 steps every day, and Psilocybin mushrooms (whose usage is legal where I live).
