My evening routine is to carry on what I was doing during the day, at least for now.

I enjoy what I do, therefore I don’t really see it too much like a chore.

I generally try to take the weekends off though to relax and refresh.

Well, in the beginning the hours can get weird but if the pace keeps up burn out and startup fatigue can set in. Keep a check on other and have them watch you in case your work starts to suffer. Eventually you will get in a better work pattern.

This is an interesting post. I must say that my routine is very much the stay up until 3 am and sleep until 10am. We are at the very early stage of our start-up and most of our development and QA takes place late at night when everybody can buckle down and focus. The day is riddled with phone calls, sales pitches, networking, emails, etc. and makes it hard to concentrate. The days are long and usually go from abou 10am to 3am consistently 5 days a week. Weekends usually only 8-10 hour days. The saving grace is that I usually go to the gym or play tennis with my co-founder who has free access to both (crucial!) and we go after dinner maybe 3 nights a week so that we don’t get fat. Not the ideal evening routine but has definitely allowed us to be incredibly productive as we build OnCard Marketing.

I usually go to the gym when I find the time, and sometimes I do background research and or fun stuff around the company.

Having trouble sleeping occurs only when I am forced to work overnight the previous day…
