From Constant Chaos to Control: 3 Rituals for a Founder to Maintain Productivity and Sanity

When you're alone, you just work. When you have a team, your main job is to think. But email, meetings, and endless questions leave no time for that. You work 24/7 but feel like you're not moving forward. Your energy is the company's most valuable asset. Here are 3 rituals to manage it, not burn it.

  • The Problem: Your day is filled with operational tasks, leaving no time for the most important work (strategy, investors, hiring).
  • The Solution: Block the first 1.5-2 hours of each day in your calendar as a meeting with yourself. No messengers, no email. During this time, you work on only ONE, most important task of the day.
  • The Result: You are guaranteed to move the company forward every day, not just react to incoming requests.
  • The Problem: Weeks blur into one another. You lose track of what you've accomplished and don't know what to do next.
  • The Solution: Set aside 30 minutes on Friday evening. Answer these three questions: 1) What went well this week? 2) Where did I make a mistake/ what went wrong? 3) What are the 3 main goals for next week?
  • The Result: You learn from your mistakes and start Monday with a clear plan, not with panic or a foggy mind.
  • The Problem: You try to do everything yourself, including tasks that someone else could do (or that don't need to be done at all).
  • The Solution: At the beginning of the week, identify 1-3 tasks that you will consciously neglect. Delegate them, automate them, or simply accept that they are not important right now.
  • The Result: You free up your mental energy for high-level decisions where no one can replace you.

Managing a startup means managing your energy and focus. An hour for strategy, half an hour for reflection, and the courage to say no to the non-essential — these three simple rituals don't require complex systems or apps. They only require discipline, but they will help you shift from the role of the "busiest employee" to the role of a true leader.
