Brad is right. This is a choice
When I wrote this post a few weeks back I was in a tough place.
I don’t think I was feeling sorry for myself - I was just in a world of hurt.
Balancing the work/life scale is a tough one. Setting limits is even tougher.
But I agree with Brad and his excellent post about rejecting stress. It’s a choice. And I’m deciding that I’m going to get better at this.
A dear friend of mine (who is also a VC) suggested not doing any work emails on the weekends. He’s extremely successful and if it works for him I’m hoping it can work for me too. I don’t know if I’m ready to go cold turkey yet but I’m definately going to do a lot less emails on the weekend.
And hopefully I’ll get it down to zero.
