If you want to do more than just survive remote work you need a plan. It took me too many years to figure out my own. But it’s a mix of planned lunches, Coworking and finding friends you can talk to honestly about struggles.

@markgdavis Dude, not sure if this was a sports thing :) but the streets of SF are literally covered in garbage, needles, homeless, and human feces. Less than 1% of the 30k (!) car burglaries are procecuted. Meanwhile, Oakland is rebuilding itself and is the west coast Brooklyn.
As founders, we actually get quite good at going into “crisis mode”.
Drop everything, focus, and fix something in days that would usually take months.
But if you are in crisis mode all the time, you will break down.
A few great VPs are the answer.
The more senior you are, the longer timescales you operate in.
Weeks/months become year/5 years/+. And the feedback loops much longer as well (many years).
That transition is tough, but what is most difficult is adapting your notion of patience and when to apply impatience.
Habits that have a high rate of return in life:
- sleep 8+ hours each day
- lift weights 3x week
- go for a walk each day
- save at least 10 percent of your income
- read every day
- drink more water and less of everything else
- leave your phone in another room while you work
