10 Time Management Tips for Busy Founders

As a founder, you’re wearing multiple hats — and time often feels too short. Here’s how to make the most of it:

1. Time block your calendar – Assign specific hours to tasks.

2. Do the hard things first – Start your day with high-impact work.

3. Set weekly priorities – Not everything is urgent.

4. Use tools like Notion or Trello – Don’t rely on memory.

5. Automate repetitive tasks – Email replies, invoicing, etc.

6. Outsource what slows you down – Design, admin, content.

7. Take breaks – Rest improves focus and creativity.

8. Avoid multitasking – Do one thing, finish it, then move on.

9. Use the 80/20 rule – Focus on tasks that give 80% of your results.

10. Plan tomorrow before sleeping – A prepared day is a productive day.

Takeaway:
Managing your time well means managing your business better.
