Jokes aside, Levels CEO Sam Corcos made the headlines on Twitter today by sharing his sophisticated time management strategy - which involved sharing his calendar and you can notice that along with ‘email processing’ (which apparently is becoming a thing in The Valley) the most frequent appointment was a haircut on Sundays. 😅
I struggle to define if this type of precision on time management is almost a luxury that venture backed business can afford.
As a indie hacker, what time management strategy should you use? Focused and planned or fluid and taking advantage of opportunities as you evolve?
This is Silicon Valley Peacocking. It's not realistic for anyone to follow a cast iron schedule for extended periods of time. And even if it is possible - why would you want to? We are becoming entrepreneurs and business owners to increase our autonomy and freedom - not be locked into an operational jail cell.
I have to agree that this is a very different game someone decides to play when we consider the most common reasons why you would want to pursue entrepreneurship.
Although I see a lot of value on having structure and streamlining work efforts as a very efficient tool to bring results to a business, the level of focus on the process makes me wonder how much energy is directed to the actual outputs.
Being a founder of high growth startups backed by Silicon Valley VCs is - unfortunately - another naming convention for a corporate job.
True. Structure and purpose is very important.
Haha true: "VC backed employee"
I think the Dutch style of braiding gives your hair a more three-dimensional effect as the braid pops up. French braids, on the other hand, are flatter, but the braids seem much smoother. Which one to choose will help http://myhairbraiding.com/dutch-braid-vs-french-braid/. If you think you have dull hair, you can choose the Dutch style of braiding. However, if you feel your hair is too unruly, a flat tone is better. What you should avoid is mixing the two types. It's a consistent, even look that makes Dutch and French braids make heads spin, but combining them seems clumsy and messy. Whatever you choose, stick with it and execute.
It really depends on the content of the zoom calls you have scheduled for the week.
I've found that if there are a plenty of things which you need to do, you automatically manage your time better.
If you're less busy, then you tend to be a slave to your whims.
Yes, good point. I also see value on having a structure for management of tasks. And also quite relevant to have the understanding of your estimation of how long you actually take to complete a task... Which could be very relevant to help on becoming more efficient.
