That's for "when shit hits the fan".
Otherwise, if your startup is a 24-7 commitment, you're probably doing something wrong: If you need to babysit a service, you have technical problems and a know-how gap. If you need to babysit a phone, you're making an unrealistic commitment to customers.
- stop50 3y agoAfter you work too long you can't concentrate and are more prone to errors.
- DamonHD 3y agoSo generally one should aim to (and have people around you) work somewhat under 8h/d - 6h/d of core non-mindless seems about optimum IMHO.
- DamonHD 3y agoI was disagreeing with the apparently absolute 10h boundary even if your hair or child or startup is on fire. I am not one of there people that says you should work at least 32h per day or you've failed, but equally, overly rigid boundaries are unhelpful. If you create something new then it's usually messy at times and sensible flexibilty is vital. Been there, done that, several times, now part retired.
