Do you feel like that because you were once a professional, that it helps with the startup? As in, does it help you avoid useless nonsense that doesnt add to the bottom line?

Also the time management piece is ultra important here I think. Its like Leetcode for time management. Theres leetcode easy which is just brute force working hours, then theres more efficient ways of working that become more obvious in a professional setting. Its the one thing I have over myself when I was 24. I know how to manage time more effectively.

Do you feel the same way?

There are two aspects here:

- being efficient with your time: not wasting time on distractions, keeping meetings short etc.

- knowing what to spend time on: doing the activities that will actually drive to your goals rather than feel like you are.
