Do you sometimes feel guilty for taking a break? Maybe you tinker on things throughout your break to ease the guilt, or perhaps you feel the guilt after enjoying a weekend away. Well we feel that too, so that’s what we discuss in this episode. You’ll hear our feelings on this guilt, and our advice for overcoming it and allowing yourself the permission to relax.
When you’re someone with a side project, you will have less “free time” than someone who doesn’t have one. You will have to work many weekends and holidays. But you still deserve a break every now and then!
Make sure you take purposeful breaks. Decide on the time off and refrain from working during it. Take a break fully! Work hard; rest hard.
When you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed about the things you haven’t done, go through what’s worrying you and consider how much of a priority they really are. Often things are important, but not urgent.
