       Ask HN: How do you organize yourself as a solo founder
        
       I have a 9:5 job and work also alone on a side project where I have
       to do tech related tasks as well as market sale (content creation,
       emails and sometime calls).  So, I'm asking if you are in same
       position as me, how are you organizing yourself to do everything ?
