Hey!
Alright, so this week in work boundaries, we’re talking vacation.
I’m going to be open and tell you I’m bad at this. I’ve been good about taking 3-4 weeks around the end of the year and the occasional day off, but I’m still falling short on my 2 months off every year.
Part is because I hadn’t been comfortable until I got my revenue to where it is now (and I feel like I can fund all that PTO). But this year I’m taking a baby step and taking a week off in the summer.
So, I can’t say I have any personal advice here aside from really digging into what’s keeping you from taking the time. For me, the root of it was feeling like I couldn’t afford it, so getting my buffer fund up to a concrete number and automating my marketing made a huge difference. For you, it might be addressing where work plays in your life or working on mental health issue.
Whatever it is, if you need help setting and respecting your work boundaries, come by the Academy boards and let’s talk it out.
