Hello! So after reading Unscripted and TMF , I've decided to pursue CENTS Entrepreneurship. I know what I'd like to create, and what I need to learn to create it. The end goal and the steps to get there is (quite long, but) clear.

But I have a problem: Going from a scripted college student with predetermined schedules to complete self-employment, I'm not sure how to optimally manage my time and focus. Since I don't have the technical skills (yet) to build what I want, I've just been learning relevant skills until fatigue, eating, sleeping, repeat.

There seems to be many books on "how to become a better employee", but little resources on how to grow a daily work ethic from scratch when you suddenly own 24 hours of your day.

Basic questions (which I feel should be obvious) become ambiguous; How much of my day should I dedicate to work? What should the work/break pattern look like? What should I do during breaks?

TL;DR Is there a resource that goes into self-management of the newly self-employed? (Also, any advice would be much appreciated!)
