Hey guys I am in the process of starting my business. I guess the question I want to ask everyone is how much time did you guys spend going out with friends or just having some time to yourself when first starting out? I have really good time management skills and do a lot of stuff like getting work done while on the train and listening to audiobooks while at the gym, but how much time if any do I spend going for dinner with friends for example? For reference, I am going into my second year of uni and am starting a business in something related to my degree and a current job which helps with the learning aspect but every time I am not working on something productive I feel guilty
