Find the right people, set the right goals, and let them do their best work. If I start to micro-manage, it's just an indicator that I need to look for other people.
I think there is no point in trying to change people's behavior or micro-manage them. Most of the time it doesn't work. If you find the right people, you don't have to.

I split work into 45 minutes sessions. During a working sessions I don't check any external communications like slack or email. I focus on a single task.
I tell myself, what if went for a long shower. Nobody dies if I don't answer within 45 minutes. That gives me mental permission to disconnect from everything. And it turns out nothing bad happens. The world can wait.
After each session I...

Yes, I love it! I think of coding as of playing toys in childhood. I think all of us enjoyed creating some small projects. It could be a paper airplane, or a wooden boat, a car, a robot, or whatever. The point is in implementing some idea and making it alive. When you create something all the world stops for a while.
I think we still have this little child sitting inside us and programming...

Probably, it's all about your mindset. There are lots of problems we face on a daily basis. You just see an imperfection in something. You automatically start to think about what can be done to fix this imperfection and here you go, you have another idea for a start-up.
I'd say I have another problem. I need to cool myself down all the time because jumping from one idea to another is not...

I split work into 45 minutes long sessions. I use simple kitchen timer for that. During any given working session I do not check Slack/Email and work only on a single task.
How do you focus while working?

I use a very simple method. I use kitchen timer to split work into 45 minutes sessions. I have a sheet of paper on my refrigerator. On this paper I have a table where rows are days of the week and columns are projects I am working on. After each working session I put a cross in the corresponding project cell. This helps me analyze my time spent on tasks over the week.
Which tools do you use to manage your work and analyze the time spent on tasks over the week?

I am trying to solve one of the fundamental problems of humanity.
It's all about how people communicate within a team when they work together. There is no good solution to the problem yet.
Why I am so confident about it? Because people use multiple apps to communicate within the team. One app for messaging, another app for task management, and so on. This is all simply communication between...

Great points! I think the point about not giving up too soon is the most important. I even think that there is no such thing as startup failure. Failure simply means someone gave up too early.

Our product is unique simply because there is no such application in the whole world.
There are thousands of products for team communication but they are all wrong. They are all wrong because people have to use multiple products for communication within the team. No solution to the problem yet! Information gets scattered among different places and it always creates a mess.
Our product is the...

I like it because I own my time. I can plan my day according to my preference. I don't have to wear office clothes. No need to commute in crowded public transport or lose time in traffic jams. Zero distractions when I need to focus. Nothing can compare with the comfort of working from home.

Creating a product is like pushing a brick wall with your forehead. If you keep pushing for years, the brick wall finally falls apart. It's painful and daunting but the reward is huge.
What are you biggest learnings from creating your own product ?
