Like I try to do a stressful thing every week because I think a lot of it is like stress tolerance over time.

Yeah.

What would yours be?

I think it's getting up early.

We're in 60 countries now.

And so no matter what, I try to keep basically East Coast time.

So when I'm in San Francisco, I'll get up at like 4 a.m.

or 4.30 a.m.

And what that allows you to do is you can kind of like,

focus before the stream of slacks and the stream of emails come in.

And I think that like couple hours in the morning, especially when I can go to the gym and I can kind of think about like product and those things, that's like changed the trajectory of how I operate the company more than anything else.

And I do it when I travel too.

One of the ones I have that I think was a good habit in the beginning of the company and now is starting to get bad is I zero out Slack every 15 minutes.

And so I'm in almost every single Slack channel and I read every single thing.

It was really good in the beginning of the company because if you do that constantly, you're basically every day, all you have to do is catch up compared to what happened yesterday.

And so it's really easy to make decisions.

The problem with that is I've probably done that for too long.

As you scale, you actually have to focus more and more on what is the P0.

And I think I've done a little bit too much of like still being in every single Slack channel and checking every little thing.

There's a time I was talking to someone from Sequoia and they had been living with other founders during COVID.
