5 Productivity Hacks for Solo Founders

Being a solo founder is rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming. Here are my top 5 tips for staying sane and productive.

1. Time Blocking

Don't just write a to-do list. Schedule *when* you will do each task. Treat these blocks as sacred appointments with yourself.

If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately. This keeps your mental RAM clear for bigger problems.

A messy desktop leads to a messy mind. Use tools like SparkyMinis Vault to keep your files organized and secure.

If you do it more than twice, automate it. From invoicing to social media posting, there's a tool for that.

You can't pour from an empty cup. Schedule downtime just like you schedule meetings.
