Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule

An oldie but goodie from Paul Graham. People often ask what has been the hardest thing about the transition from writer to venture capitalist — it’s the transition from the maker’s schedule to the manager’s schedule. 

As I tweeted earlier, it’s pretty much impossible to write when you constantly have to be somewhere in five minutes. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love my new life. There are a billion positives and few negatives. But it is much harder to write.
