I run a fast-growing AI startup of 8 teammates, an educational nonprofit with 100k students, and I’m a college student at the same time.

My secret to managing it all?

I don’t sleep.

Ok, I’m only half-kidding.

Even with college, I still have about 5 working hours per day, and 12h during weekends.

That’s still 9h more than the average 40h workweek.

Then, my favorite productivity technique is the daily highlight.

I set up 1 or 2 most important things to get done today. And then don’t stop working until I finish them.

When you can only do 1-2 things per day, it’s amazing how many tasks can be automated, delegated, or just irrelevant.

Focus and Priorities - that’s the secret.
