Lifestyle
In the past, I worked on a project where I was on 24/24, 7/7
I used to wake up very frequently to fix our system at night, and push my bedtime little by little until I slept at 8am (and woke up at 6pm)
With this new business(es) that I'm about to build, I don't want to repeat this mistakes, because it'll just shave off years of my life expectancy + ruin my days for little benefit. =
If I have to do this, then it's a bad business idea.
Working hours
I should be able to work 4 hours a day and get everything I needed to be done to both maintain the project and grow it a little.
I shouldn't have to keep doing stupid hours watching dashboards and trying to fix stuff by making small changes and hopping it'll make the statistics go the right way.
Instead, I want deep sessions of focus that consistently result in improvements to the business.
On Call
It's okay to be on call, but it needs to be:
- Well-defined time periods
- Only for extremely obviously urgent problems
- Happen very rarely
TL;DR:
Think about the lifestyle of my old coworkers at XXXXXXXXX.
This is my target.
