"Work all day. Build all night."
Servus and welcome to Day 3 of my startup journey is here – and today was one of those real-life balance days.
🕘 9 to 5 – Main Job Grind
I spent the whole day working at my current full-time job (still the main source of income while I bootstrap my company). Honestly, it was one of those days where energy is low but the dream is alive.
🌙 Night Mode: CRM Development Begins
After work, I finally started laying the foundation for a custom CRM system – a tool that I eventually want to integrate deeply into my own startup workflow and maybe offer as a standalone product.
Nothing fancy yet – just some basic layout sketches, data flow diagrams, and initial thoughts on user roles & client tracking.
🤔 Your Input Wanted: What Should a CRM Include?
I want to build something useful, not just another bloated dashboard.
So here’s my question to you:
🧠 If you could design your dream CRM, what would it absolutely need to have?
- What features do you wish your current CRM had?
- What annoys you the most about existing tools?
- Is it client tracking, email logging, lead scoring, project linking... or something else entirely?
💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments – I’ll read every single one and may even build it in!
See you tomorrow for Day 4 – let’s see how far I can get with this CRM prototype.
Stay consistent,
Jonathan

this is extremely impressive, pulling double duty like that keeps me motivated to do the same
you think the hardest part of this is energy or focus
