after over a year of relentless shipping, reacting to endless requests, tight deadlines and what was happening around me, I've realized that a part of my brain gradually became numb. the constant pressure made me highly productive, but also prevented me from thinking creatively and seeing the bigger picture as I used to.

not sure if this is a common experience, but regaining that mental clarity feels like moving with ease again after an intense training regime.

like sama I also believe burnout doesn’t come from working too hard but from a lack of progress or momentum, in fact I never truly stopped working since I started @slice in 2020. however mental strain is real and without rest the brain cannot function properly.

so founders, don't forget to rest and zoom out.
