Hi Reader,
The weekends feel so good this summer. It has taken me 3 years of entrepreneurship to stop working on the weekends. Fifteen years of teaching had that deeply ingrained, and even though I left teaching to have more time I continued to work on the weekends, it was a habit - until just a few months ago.
There is always something to be done when you own your own business, and working on the weekends or late at night is justifiable because it's YOUR business. But burnout is no joke and is happening everywhere, even to entrepreneurs.
How can you keep it from happening to you? Boundaries. Maybe you are nodding your head or perhaps rolling your eyes. I have read the books and planned out a litany of boundaries. But as you read above I didn't keep them until I made not working on the weekends a nonnegotiable.
Now is when I give you the magic bullet to keeping boundaries, right? I wish! But I do have some advice. The work will always be there and like it or not you are replaceable. But to your family and in your life you are not replaceable. And time is going by fast, even when the days seem long.
Make time to rest and recharge a sacred non-negotiable. Be your boss and tell yourself to take a day off, two perhaps = the weekend. It doesn't have to be travel or a special occasion. Allow yourself to just be, and enjoy your life. DON'T WORK ON YOUR JOB OR BUSINESS. That's me being bossy ๐
It's not an organic marketing tip this week but your resting will benefit your marketing and your business - new ideas, fresh perspectives, and renewed energy.
