Totally swamped

If you're an entrepreneur and you're not extremely busy, something is wrong. But some times are far busier than others and these last few days I've been reaching my max. It seems like all the "pending" tasks I had to get done have all become due right around the same time. I literally spent the entire day yesterday sending emails - from 7 AM to 7 PM. They were coming in faster than they were going out. I sent out 24 f*cking emails! Some were only a sentence or two, but others to clients were the type of emails that take 20-30 minutes to write.

The rest of my team is pretty busy too, and to be honest with you, the majority of what I'm working on is with other team members and I'm the one slowing things down. I'm not really used to being in this position - I'm used to being the guy who always gets everything done quicker than expected. There's only so much time in the day, so unfortunately some people are going to have to wait.

Now, it's always better to be too busy than not busy enough...and I know that every email I send and every project I take on is helping Pure Adapt grow, but sometimes I wish it would just stop. Even for a day. Thankfully the weekend has arrived - I get less emails and I can actually get more done on the projects I'm on. I realize it's not a good thing to be looking forward to a weekend to do MORE work, but overall I have been spending more time doing fun things, and I plan on going out this weekend. For the time being, I can work 8 hours on a Saturday and still have plenty of time to go out and have fun. Long term it's not a solution, but when a company is this young I can't expect to work 40 hour weeks. I'm 24 - if I'm still working like this at 27 then something is very wrong.

On a positive note, my getting up at 6AM thing has been working like a charm - I can't even imagine how much worse it would be if I was still getting up around 9 every day.
