Ask HN: Founders under load: what system keeps you from not dropping the ball?
Looking for concrete, copyable details: • Capture: How do you grab every commitment in-flow (keyboard macros, Raycast/Alfred, email rules)? • Triage → Focus: Your scoring/heuristic (e.g., unblock_others > revenue_this_week > existential). • Follow-ups: How do you guarantee chase-backs (SLA rules, auto-nudges, snooze loops)? • Calendar design: Maker blocks, default 25-min calls, guardrails, “no-meeting” windows. • Automation: Filters, scripts, Shortcuts/Zapier/Make, CRM/email/Slack glue. • Rituals: Daily shutdown, weekly review, “burn down open loops.” • Anti-hacks: What you stopped doing that freed time.
Please reply in this format (paste scripts/gists if you can):
