Think about all the tasks you'll need to do to be a great entrepreneur and see which you reflexively avoid. Most emotional debt will pop up as we go, but it's sometimes hard to predict. Emotional debt is what keeps us from making decisions that are good for our lives. Behavioral debt sucks your time; emotions suck your willpower. You can't do what everyone else does and expect unique results. We need to build a foundation, a system, a rhythm to deal with it.
Today is the first of a three part series on setting up an operating rhythm for building a startup while you've got a full-time job. We lay out a system to help you make serious progress in an hour a day. We focus on reflection - specifically, your lifestyle debt - in an attempt to free up an hour of your time for the startup work. A startup won't be sustainable if it's layered on top of everything you're doing now. So today, we find you a free hour.
