In this brief monologue, founder Peter Sorgenfrei emphasizes that every founder should ask themselves each week, “Am I working on the right thing?” He stresses the need to ensure that a founder’s focus is on high‑impact activities that only they can execute—tasks that truly move the needle—while delegating work that others could handle. The core advice is a weekly self‑check to align time spent with the most valuable contributions and avoid getting bogged down in low‑leverage tasks.

The one question every single founder should ask themselves every single week is, am I working on the right thing? Is my focus where it needs to be? Am I spending the time that I need to spend on the things that only I can do, the things that move the needle? Or am I spending too much time working on stuff that somebody else should be doing? That is the one thing that every single founder should ask themselves every single week.
