FBC – 237 – I am taking some time off

I am taking some time off.

Today, I want to talk about work – life balance. How to balance it properly, what is too much work and what is too much time off.

All answers in this episode.

So, yeah, for today, I wanted to talk about the work and life balance. You need to be able to put in enough effort to basically improve your business, improve your skills and move forward. And at the same time, you need to be able to enjoy your life. Right.

So I'm at that point where my girlfriend's here and I think I've worked hard enough for the last couple of months, building stuff and making sure that other people can take over. And I think it's time to actually go and enjoy the fruits of my labour. Because what's the point of doing all this stuff to get what you want when afterwards you don't actually go out and enjoy it?

So it's actually quite hard because in the beginning, you have this objective of, you know what? When I get to this point, then that's it. I’ll get some rest and enjoy it. But the thing is, in the process, you basically get hooked to putting in all these efforts to learn stuff, which becomes a part of you.

You're used to having your brain working, you know, pretty much all the time and thinking about stuff and doing a little bit, building new things and stuff. And you have to readjust. Right. But it's hard. But it's also dangerous. Because you don't want to get to a point where you're so hooked on it that you can't even relax and have fun and stuff.

So it's very important for you to be able to find that balance so that you can actually enjoy what you built because that was the original point. So always try to remember what your original point was. I'm at this stage where, to be honest, I have been working a lot for the last year. I'm going to relax and take it easy with my girlfriend.

So anyway, it's going to quite interesting for me. I'm going to take a little bit more time, work less as I've built everything now the foundation, everything, so it can just work without me. OK. So, yeah, I'm really tired after the whole trip and stuff.

The work-life balance, it’s important. You need to be able to take some time off sometimes and actually enjoy it.
