For those that have a full time job and a side startup. How do you manage doing both? I’m in pre-seed stages (<10 employees), and I’ve tried doing separate hours for one and the other. But that is causing slow response times to clients, and causing issues for burnout of the team. I’ve been told separate hours is the best way to make sure that you don’t get slapped with co-working, but is there effective strategies to make startup life more livable? 😩😫
