I agree. I'm still "pre-money" in my start-up, so not making money at the moment, but I always have an agenda of things I want to accomplish to move the ball forward. Under these conditions, if anything else gets done outside of my agenda, it's got to be scheduled. It does seem off-putting to some people. For instance, I volunteer at some community groups, and people I meet there can sometimes make the assumption that I'm being stand-offish when I whip out a schedule on my smartphone just to have a short chat or to do a volunteer task, especially since it seems to them like I'm "not working". I just have a lot of competing priorities and have learned that I must be true to my own goals first, or risk losing sight of those goals.
