Your mind can't be creative if you never switch off. Reduce work hours. Slow down. Turn your phone off outside of work hours. Answer emails twice per day and let them sit on weekends. All this productivity just creates an anxiety disorder. It's toxic to your mind and career goals. When you switch off everything gets better. And your family gets to know you again. A successful career is one of balanced work hours, not grinding to hit some silly monetary goal or job title. <<<>>> ✍️ Have you ever worked too many hours?  ♻️ Reshare if you found this helpful.

Tim Denning Taking time to switch off and disconnect is essential for creativity and mental health. Reducing work hours, setting boundaries with emails, and prioritizing family time can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life!

Tim Denning Absolutely! Once I learned to disconnect after work, my creativity and productivity skyrocketed.

It takes practice. But, you've got to switch off work mode on the weekends unless you work weekends. You find yourself to be more: - creative - productive - socialize You can't create good work when you're cranky, tired, and burnt out.

I am currently on vacation for a month. I will not read mails or teams. I will answer if someone calls me and tells me there is an emergency. I have an excellent team that can take care of the daily life and I can trust them doing so. For the next 11 months I will have full energy to do whatever is needed.

I feel it's important to not shove one's definitions of career and success onto others. The top entrepreneurs never counted hours nor did they consider weekends as time only to relax, at least in the initial years. That's how they built an empire. That's how they took ownership for almost everything happening in the business. Also, not every employee or entrepreneur is a blogger sitting on a beach with a laptop, with a large online audience. You tell this to a Military personnel safeguarding your nation's borders and perhaps the man would smile and walk off.

...unless that's what you want. This is great advice for someone working a job they don't like. But if you love what you do, why are we encouraging people to do less of it? Or, if it's making a positive impact in the world, why reduce that either? If it suits you, keep pushing - and don't listen to someone else's opinion on how you should live your life!
