I had quite a bit of feedback about the "Maker's Schedule, Manager's
Schedule" dilemma that Paul Graham wrote his essay about. The most
common response was "Yeah, I have that too!" If it was written by a
parent, it often was followed quickly by "What do I do about it?"
My answer is: I don't know, but I am experimenting with changing my
behavior and tracking the results on this blog. The more I work as an
entrepreneur, the more I realize the value of my time in business and
in life.
My initial hypothesis is that I can't make like Paul Graham and sleep
in until 11 every morning, though I can envy him. One daughter is up
at 5-6 am, the other at 6:45 at the latest.
Hypothesis 1:
8am to 1pm is for communication and easy tasks: meetings,
correspondence, and follow-ups
1pm to 5pm is for work
8pm, once the kids are in bed again, can be for work on fun projects
(Gary V. would be proud)
We shall see... I have to run to a meeting!
