Rest and restitution

One of the main reasons startups fail is burnout.

Ensuring rest and restitution is one of the best investments a founder can do for themselves and their teams.

And while most are good at ensuring it for their team, they are horrible at doing it for themselves.

So, if this rings a bell, pull the plug today, tomorrow, or during the weekend (if you have the habit of working then), and repeat on a fixed schedule from now on.

I prescribe a weekly 'me' day for most of my clients, no meetings, no obligations, some times they work on these days, some times they don't.

But they always remember to rest...
