How to Multitask as an Entrepreneur

About this video

Sam Parr discusses his approach to managing multiple projects and side hustles while working full-time at Twitch, explaining how he prioritizes results over hours worked, strategically hires talented people to multiply his impact, and maintains transparency with his employer about his various commitments. He also reflects on the importance of taking paternity leave and not deferring important personal priorities.

Key takeaways

• Sam maximizes available time by eliminating leisure activities, working seven days a week, and finding pockets of time (like lunch breaks) to pursue side projects, rather than trying to do everything himself
• Hiring and delegating to talented people who are motivated by money, learning, reputation, or network building allows Sam to work on multiple initiatives simultaneously while keeping costs manageable through equity arrangements
• Sam’s employer accepts his unconventional schedule because he delivers measurable results on his core responsibilities; the agreement is results-based rather than time-based, which requires both transparency and consistent performance
