Edu: Founder Time Management - Take Back Control w/ Henry Shapiro
Time.
It's a founder’s greatest resource. It’s also a founder’s scarcest. Joining Chris Saad and Yaniv Bernstein this week on The Startup Podcast to help you take back control of your time is Henry Shapiro.
Henry is the co-founder and COO of Reclaim AI, a company specializing in creating solutions to enhance productivity. Henry's expertise lies in creating systems and strategies for effective time management, making him a crucial resource for anyone seeking to maximize their productivity in the challenging environment of startups.
Together the trio discuss tips for startup founders, operators and employees on time management in high-paced environment:
1) Treat time as a finite resource and budget it like finances. Having a structured calendar helps prioritize important tasks.
2) Focus on the right priorities and meetings that matter most. AI can help optimize scheduling but humans still need to determine priorities.
3) Start with small improvements like designating times for notifications/shallow work and creating boundaries between work/personal time. This helps minimize distractions.
4) Take an incremental approach to building good habits and the right mindset. Simple tips aren't enough without psychological adjustment.
5) There are always more demands than available time, especially for founders and "hub" roles that interface with many departments. Constraints and interruptions further reduce available time.
Take back control of your time. Listen to this episode to learn how!
