What helped me was to start saying no to a lot of things so that you can primarily focus on what matters. Put an ROI and place a dollar value on your time to help you make decisions about how you allocate it. A partner at a law firm might bill $1000/hour so that may be a good place to start. As the CEO you’re the pace car. You can’t expect people to work harder than you and that’s a challenge because you may be working with multiple teams, each one of them involved in a sprint at some point, but you don’t get that luxury. It’s tough but hopefully with some scale you can get more support on the things you’re less good at or don’t enjoy.
