This newsletter has grown so much over the past year! I’m so thankful for all your support and kind words. Writing for this audience is truly one of the coolest things I do.
Be safe, and remember to shut off your laptop and relax this week.
Speaking of rest…
Here’s a quick blurb I wrote a while ago about the importance of taking time off. Enjoy!
My laptop shuts at 5 pm.
No exceptions.
I've burned out before and it's not happening again.
I work later than I should for selfish reasons. I want more.
More money.
More attention.
More to talk about on dates.
Whatever.
It's this desperate need to matter that gets us burned out.
Think about Alexander the Great and Tiger Woods.
On the one hand, their drive helped them conquer their corner of the world.
But at what cost?
Their relationships? Alexander killed his best friend at a party.
Their happiness? Tiger in the hospital again after another overdose.
Sorry, not for me.
Invest in your mental health. Invest in your relationships.
Do that, and (ironically) you will find that you've always mattered.
