Some of my tips:

1) Meditation is great. Do more meditation

2) You will have super productive days and you will have super unproductive days. That's okay. Don't sweat it, they will even out. Long term progress is what you want

Reminds me of a quote that’s helped me a lot over the years (founded a startup, had several mega stressful periods, company going strong 16 years later):

“It doesn’t matter how slowly you go so long as you don’t stop.”

"Even an unstoppable force can move 1mph"
What if someone out-competes you?

Maybe cannot happen in some areas, eg there's "always" room for one more consultancy agency? (Assuming they find talented people)

People say consistency is key.

But humans naturally have variability, especially under conditions of high uncertainty such as founding a startup. So practice the courage to trust yourself today even if yesterday was unproductive.
