From January 1, 2009, to May 31, 2011, I didn’t take a single day off. Not on Christmas. Not on Thanks­giving (some of you may remember playing board games with my family and me on U­stream). Especially not on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day when the new IWear­Your­Shirt sponsor calendar rolled out. I spent one New Year’s Eve on my computer from 9:00–11:59 p.m., stepped away for a minute to kiss my girl­friend and drink champagne, and then sat back down for another three hours. Years of that kind of dedication with zero breaks will wear on you, no matter who you are.

This brings up another point about setting your schedule and avoiding burnout. When you’re ready to end your workday, make sure you actually end your workday. Close your laptop, and don’t look at it again until the next day. You are going to feel like you’re missing out on opportunities and time you could be working, but it’s so worth it in the long run to relax and let your mind and body recharge. This is a lesson that took me years to learn, and believe me when I say I’m a better person now because of it. There’s no telling how much more creative I could have been, or what other whacky business ideas I might have come up with over the years had I given my brain a break here and there early on. No matter what business or entre­preneurial adventure you plan to embark on, do yourself a favor and schedule time off. You may feel like you have to be checking email and working, but trust, trust, trust me, you’ll be just fine. Burning out is much more detrimental in the long haul than having someone not get an email response for two days.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE EMAIL

There’s this funny thing about email. It simply just keeps coming. Whether it’s inbound leads, client follow-ups, friends and family stuff, or the 249 newsletters you’re subscribed to. Whatever it is, your inbox is always going to be a somewhat noisy and uncontrolled space.
