If you're a founder who's also a parent, how do you manage your time?

Question

Not a parent myself, just curious to hear how you juggle taking care of kids and also a business

This is a tough question that really doesn’t have a cookie cutter answer. Every situation is different. The bottom line is that your family needs to feel your presence. Have conversations about your goals and share this experience with them. If you make them part of the process they will have more understanding when you are not there.

Be sure that when you do spend time with them that the focus is on them. Don’t try to multitask, give them your direct attention. They should be your “TikTok” or escapism. This goes for your spouse too.

Answer

When you do spend time together, give them your undivided attention. Don't multitask; pay attention to them only.

Answer

One thing that has worked well for me is to make a schedule with time set aside for both work and family responsibilities and to be as disciplined as possible about sticking to that schedule. It's also important to be flexible and willing to change your priorities and schedule as needed, and to look for help and resources from people in your community who are going through similar problems.
