Continuous group interaction exhausts team members, especially introverts. The speakers propose a daily rhythm: work 9 am to 3 pm with lunch, then finish by 3-4 pm so people have afternoons free for personal time, journaling, or hiking. Teams need intentional downtime to balance work demands with well-being.
It's an energy drain for some people. We're not all extroverts. That much time together, you need to build in alone time, downtime.
You know, like, that's a great point.
We might work from 9 in the morning until about 3, breaking for lunch somewhere in there. So you get a little break there. Then maybe we quit around 3 or 4, and everybody gets a couple hours to like check in with home, journal, or go do what you want, or go find a place to hike, or whatever it is that you need to do. You can't have everybody tied to the business all the time.
It's too much of a drain. It was our last retreat, there was a mansion we stayed at, but it was out front they had along the driveway, like almost like a little meditation spot. Yeah. I found it and I went out there and I did my meditation practice. Like, this is amazing.
