Sometimes All You Have is Time. Sometimes, there is never enough time. The reality is, there are always limited resources of one kind or another, and your primary job as a founder is to maximize the usage of those resources in every way shape and form. The real practical value of this should be applied to maximizing your time when you are actually "working." Asking yourself is this coffee break, phone call, friendly chat, HN comment, or whatever else you do at work, "Directly Contributing to Making Money (i.e. talking to users, building features,etc...)" As a consultant, I set a goal how much money I want to make this year. I assume I get about 800 actual productive work hours a year(being honest with myself) and divide it by the goal of what I want to make and now i have a minimum value of my time. In this context, when I stay true to it, I eliminate a ton of wasted time at work because I know every moment I waste is another dollar i need to make up elsewhere.
