Not gonna lie, sometimes it gets overwhelming as a founder - wearing a lot of hats, lots of context switching doing completely different tasks.

For context, we are a team of two, and our product is completely bootstrapped.

Recently I spent a lot of time coding - rebuilding some of the tech debt of my app from the MVP, completely rewriting the app from the ground up to optimize the app for our users.

As a result, I spent less time marketing the app, and the growth suffered, and I feel terrible about it.

How do you stay mentally well, and motivated in times like these?

For me, the two most effective strategies are:

  1. Talking to someone;
  2. Going for a run.

Talking to trusted friend helps. Tho sometimes I feel bad because I feel like I’m bringing down the energy. Guess it’s time to take up regular exercise !
