How to Run Your Own Business Without Burning Out

So I decided to try taking a day off during the week. I know that many people don’t have the luxury to do this. But I’ve found that it’s important for me to have time when no one else is in the house, for me to not talk to people or schedule anything. I call it my thinking time. I’ve been doing Wednesdays off for two years now, and it’s been a game changer. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are very stacked and busy, but I have the energy for them because I have Wednesdays to myself.

A lot of us create stories that contribute to our burnout and we frame them as, “It’s the best thing to do, it’s better this way.” But many of those stories are not even real. When we own a shift, everyone shifts with us, and we don’t get the pushback that we expect. I’ve had clients who got so burnt out that they had to check themselves into mental institutions. And if you run yourself into a place where you have to tell your boss or your clients that you’re taking an indefinite leave of absence, that can have a much bigger impact on your finances than if you were more proactive about taking a break or a vacation sooner.
