How do you balance work and personal life when running a business? 😰

As a single Dad and Solo-preneur it's not easy... I try to roll with whatever tasks I can wrap up into something my kids want to do. Carry my laptop a lot but letting go of things I can't control has kept me sane (most times). lol

I think it really comes down to 1. Making time for self whether it’s therapy, the gym, some hobby, and etc. 2. Understanding what your priorities are and staying true to yourself with them. 3. Being transparent and communicating expectations with those who depend on you 4. Properly level-setting with those in your network. Many things will pull you in even more directions, but in my opinion, ensuring you are intentional with those things above will help you stay focused and grounded. 💪🏿😎

I would say 1. Setting Clear Boundaries - Leave work at a reasonable hour 2. Prioritising Self-Care - Block out time for hobbies, family, and friends 3. Learning to Say No - Politely decline when necessary 4. Asking for Help - Delegate tasks if you can.

Balance? 😂 I just pretend my couch and Netflix(specially the Scifi and Sitcom) are VIP clients. When in doubt, coffee and pizza are my secret weapons. 🍕☕️

Stay up late or wake up early—whichever works for you. But always make time to disconnect and recharge; it will help you return at full strength.

I don't. my business, life - same thing ;)

I focus on quality over quantity. When I'm working, I'm all in, but I also make sure to be fully present during personal time

For me, scheduling everything (even my downtime) made a huge difference. I used to try multitasking all day, but it left me more stressed. Now, I block time for work and then I’m done for the day. Helps prevent burnout for sure.

I stopped trying to micromanage every little detail. It was killing my productivity and stealing all my free time. Outsourcing the smaller tasks gave me breathing room.

I schedule my breaks

Hey Casper, I need to tell the truth. It is hard to balance base on my experiences over the years.

To be honst, I don't balance anything. I wish I could, but I am not able to do that yet. If you are founding your first StartUp you might not be able to have work life balance till you get to the point where most of your processes are up and running, once that happens you start to automate things and delegate other things and in process of trying to achieve that goal, your most important goal should be not to burn out, till your StartUp achieve traction and you get enough clients so that you can pay the bills and focus on growing and figuring out how to optimise things to get some free time for other important things whether for applying more growth hacking or for your personal life, but please try to not burn out and stay healthy, your health is your only caplital in the beginning and will still the most important capital in all stages of your business, if you are not suffering mentally and physically you will suffer from losing very important opportunities and you die to find out how to get out of this struggle and you might struggle for so long without anyone knowing.

As an indie developer, time is like bullets from a shooter – sometimes you wake up and half the day is gone, awkward haha! But here’s the trick: I divide my day into three parts – research, development, and marketing. This way, I gradually find my rhythm. Keep shooting those bullets, but remember to reload with some personal time too!

I don’t. It’s either sex or biz 🙅

You have said a few words I don't understand, sorry... personal life, balance. What language is this.

It is complicated, really. But I try to keep weekends for personal life :)

I don't Work or relax Hard to work on vacation Hard to relax in work mode

No balance! 😰

Cancel your life for a while to get the core of what you're trying to solve right. the first period is so sensitive and the key is to get it right. then once you know your on the right track. Subscribe partially to your life again. But the mindset must be, your doing this once or a few times in your life. its not forever. so you can afford to give up a lot to gain a lot later. and ask friends and fam to help you, again not forever, the spotlight is on you for a small pocket of time, you can pay it back to them later.
