👀 How I'm struggling to switch off when I should be resting
😱 72% of entrepreneurs face mental health challenges
💪 Why we must unplug completely to recharge properly

Hey Everyone 👋

I'm failing at my own advice, but if you're a Founder or find your self working all day everyday, take time to switch off.

Given my #buildinpublic approach I wanted to talk about how I'm even falling into this trap (even if I know better).

The challenge is when you'e a small company taking time off means the business grinds to a halt… or so I thought.

It's no surprise then that I read stats like 72% of entrepreneurs are affected by mental health problems, compared to 48% of the general working population... 😱

This reality reinforces why we Founders must prioritize taking a few days to rest & recharge - completely unplugged from phones and computers.

Here's how I'm failing at this RIGHT NOW 👇

It’s my birthday this weekend 🎉 and I'm on holiday with my family but I've had to make this a workcation as every day with Trigify.io is key until we have larger team in place to handle the demand we have.

So what have I done to ensure at least I get some R&R while on my workcation:

→ Taking half days (Keeps the business going but allows for time off)
→ Phones down and away when off.
→ Trying to focus on being in the moment
→ Trust in my team!

Anyway, don't do a me! Take the time to fully recharge, if you can, and if you can't keep grinding till you can.

My time will come for this ✌
