Well there is nothing glamorous about startups. It might seem this way initially, with fixie bikes hanged on exposed brick walls, and programmers somehow managing peak states in a noisy open plan office. (They should be hermetically sealed off). Employees apparently multitasking to look busy...Multitasking is an illusion propagated by the media, and it's actually impossible to multitask without performance suffering. Also see: banning mobile phone use whilst driving. A more ample question is: "must you have a life to...". It starts making sense when the natural rhythm of your own life is carried on into the startup. Ottherwise you're falling victim of the great illusion of startup glamour...
