A few people asked how i structure a week when i'm doing literally everything for Zenovay (privacy first web analytics, solo founder, bootstrapped).
Here is the honest version of my week. Not what i'd put on a productivity blog, the real one.
Monday (Deep Product Day)
Tuesday (Distribution Day)
Wednesday (Positioning Day)
Thursday (Product Day 2)
Friday (Support and Customer Day)
Saturday (Light Day)
Sunday
Key constraints i hold:
One hard rule per week: no work day longer than 11 hours. I break this maybe once a month. Used to break it daily.
Support tickets get answered within 24h, not within 24 minutes. Customers respect a clear boundary more than a frantic one.
Content batching. Tuesday morning i write the whole week's posts. I am bad at improvising marketing.
One 'no work' window per day. Usually 12 to 14. Walk, eat, read something unrelated. This saved my sanity.
What i'm still bad at:
The thing i'd tell my earlier self: structure beats discipline. I am not more disciplined than i was 6 months ago. I just put fewer decisions in front of myself.
How do other solo founders here actually structure a week? Specifically interested in people running both product and gtm without help.
