Hello /r/Entrepreneur,
I'm 22 years old and a year deep into co-founding a tech startup and just about finishing up school. This summer my co-founders and I have an office space and decided to pay ourselves to cover rent + food. This way we can stay 100% focused on the company since we are in a bit of a time crunch before our next sales cycle.
I want to work longer productive hours. Previously, the tech co-founder and I worked a full time internship alongside our startup and we could hit 90 hour weeks easy. But when it was time to work on our startup, we were already depleted and tired. This resulted in a bunch of shit code that ended up breaking frequently and was nearly impossible to maintain.
Now we work 8 hours a day 7 days per week grinding out code at 80-90% productivity. More recently we have come across some issues that have taken us 50+ hours and several thousand lines of code to solve. By the end of the day my brain is gassed and I start making extremely basic mistakes. I know I won't make any meaningful progress after that point and might even dig myself deeper in bugs, so I call it a day. I want to extend my productivity so we can get more work done each day and roll through our development plan faster. It's a game of attrition after all.
I want to bump up my 50-60 hour workweek to 70-80 hours while retaining my productivity, no point in working 100 hours a week if you're unhealthy, sleep deprived, and working at 50% mental capacity.
I am doing the following already:
Nicotine
Caffeine (2-3 cups coffee a day)
Creatine (Read up on mental energy benefits of creatine)
Exercising
Eating well
Sleeping 7-8 hours
We try to stay away from harder stims (adderall) unless we know something has to be handled right fucking now.
Have any of you had long workweeks? How have you guys handled it?
