For many founders, the most productive work happens later in the day when distractions are minimized.

To manage work-life balance in a high-paced startup, I focus on the outcomes we create rather than just the hours worked.

Prioritization is key; many founders get caught up in meetings and tasks that don't actually move the startup forward, so it's important to focus on what truly matters.

Many founders mistakenly believe they are being productive by engaging with startup discussions, but this often leads to no real progress in building their product.

To maximize productivity, it's crucial to prioritize your to-do list over being driven by emails and meetings.

Focus is essential; it's easy to waste time on the wrong things in a startup, so prioritize the one optimal task over the many less important ones.

In the early days, we had 10 to 15 meetings every day with potential customers, but I still didn't fully understand what we were going to build, which was confusing for me as a product manager.

Fake work is a dangerous trap for startup founders; it feels productive but doesn't lead to real progress, so I must stay focused on my actual goals.

At our studio, we prioritize design work over meetings and administrative tasks, allowing our team to focus on their craft and improve their skills.
