Short video clip of Jason M. Lemkin advising founders to take real, uninterrupted vacations to avoid burnout. He recommends forcing two-week vacations per year, avoiding staycations or working during the break, and fully disconnecting from work while traveling.
Number four. You'll hear this again and again from founders that are successful, but it's true. Take your vacations. Force yourself to take two weeks a year and go somewhere and try not to check. Eat more than twice a day and don't do anything. And whatever you do, no dumb staycation. They don't work. Okay, no working half the day, no working from home or whatever. You could do that once in a while too. It's great. We're basically all living a distributed life today, but that's not an occasion.
