The entrepreneur's time will never be enough

SEOmoz head of customer development department, has written such a "make 26 hours a day" one. In the article, he said the current startup culture is concerned about overtime culture, suggesting that we make the most efficient use of time.

Productivity is something that makes people addictive and the feeling that something can be controlled is a very good experience. I really like this feeling, so I would rather have 26 hours a day, I can not wait for more than the day before the pursuit of a little more.

But productivity is not that easy to fix.

For me personally, more and more time is released and my schedule is getting full. The importance of those things every day I see very high, one did not dare to fall, over time, my efficiency decreased, every day dragging the pace of fatigue but did not see the product of satisfaction.

I found myself purely working to work.

When I remembered starting my first start-up, I was a slave to the work, and I and my team worked more than 100 hours a week, with so many good colleagues around and leaving our office before 7 o'clock. Restless, will make me feel dragged down the team. And this is so common in the IT industry, because of this is why investors in the industry, the young founder who invest a lot of money, these people in their early 20s, no family responsibilities, in addition to no pursuit of struggle.

But when I came back to see it later, I did not have much more output than I did at the moment. As far as you can see, our body can only withstand a certain amount of load. Law of increasing returns, not how much you drink a few red bull, more boil a few nights will be able to solve things.

From the age of 18 to 25, it took me seven years to find out what I was doing. It was not that I was not good enough but that I wanted to make more achievements. Before I wrote a day working 26 hours, morning is the gym, dinner tonight meal, the end of the day to come to read paragraph. But I still feel myself busy.

Some entrepreneurs have noticed that they have stopped their blind switches and started the switches only when needed, making them much more efficient. So today we are no more celebrated for busy, those who are really smart are those who balance the heavy work with the rest of the lives, on the contrary, workaholics is nothing to be proud of, because you may no longer schedule no other time It's

Finally, the IT industry is a game, but not always sprint, sprint from time to time in the illusion of a vicious circle, this is a marathon, not you go to 27,30-year-old you can suddenly stop to do long-term Preparation for racing.
