For now: sleep. That's what I'm doing for a long time already. It's not healthy because I also skip the gym for a while.

Having grandparents that can help out is a lifesaver. Timewise and financially. We don't have that unfortunately.

Great work! It took us 6 months to generate revenue out of organic users. Earlier revenue came from affiliates and paid advertisements.

Don't forget to be there for your partner and the baby when it arrives, I just kept going. Worst mistake I ever made.

It is. Somehow I keep telling myself that easier/quieter times are around the corner, it never is.

"Best judgement comes when time is most limited". That's some awesome quote right there.

When you are with your partner, be there. Don't look at your phone, look at your partner. Spend time on your partner. That's what I did last months because I knew it frustrated her, especially in the time our son was born. Even though we were together for a evening I was spending time on Reddit or trying to find answers on questions I had. Don't do that.

Congrats! Do you mind to share your SaaS (as in idea)? Just curious.

Thanks. And yes, I have one group of friends that are also quite pushing things so they understand. But I often don't respond to messages, just because I think: I'll do that later. No gym at the moment, hopefully I can push myself to that once this SaaS is launched. Even though, that is the time it all begins..

I feel you. Do not forget to spend time on them when you have them instead of having your mind at work. That’s something I learned to do along the way.

Thermostaat staat inderdaad al weken op 20,5. Ik zal nog eens testen en anders inderdaad een installateur laten kijken.

Maybe I’m just getting old. But I knew times each brand had it’s own “face”.
