This year I've come close to burn out many times already, only to pull myself back with rest and touching grass and holding loves ones close. Is edging against burnout part of an entrepreneur's toolkit? Is there a better strategy than dancing with the devil till it's too hot in the kitchen?

i feel like we all have different burnout thresholds 

but rly believe if you’re working on things that you care about you won’t burn out regardless of how much you do

i love this sentiment! i only work on projects i care about.

my brain needs a lot of space and structure to keep momentum. when i'm passionate about a project, i fall in the rabbit hole and want to work on it all the time. so burnout is a boundaries issue for me

yeah hear this often from founders

do you feel like you need those boundaries or is the rabbit hole more a positive thing?

it's both

boundaries is more like where my energy is going and how i'm spending focus time. rabbit hole is positive as long as i'm still working out, cooking dinner, seeing friends. lately i've been doing creative work at night, so my days are free for meetings and self care
