Thought being the boss meant I'd finally have control over my schedule. Six months in and it's the opposite.
7 hours of meetings yesterday. Then spent hours trying to remember what was decided in each one.
Client calls, team check-ins, vendor negotiations, investor updates. Everything is "urgent" and "quick 15-minute chats" turn into hour-long requirement sessions.
The worst part? Keeping track of it all. Who said what, when things are due, which client needs what follow-up. I'm constantly scrambling through scattered notes trying to piece together what was actually agreed upon.
Started this to build something meaningful. Instead I'm drowning in administrative overhead and playing catch-up on commitments I made in meetings I can barely remember.
How do you handle the constant information overload without losing your mind?
