245: Take a Break
from The Bootstrapped Founder · host Arvid Kahl
Instead of writing a lengthy article this week, I pointed my iPhone at my face, clipped on a wireless mic, put the puppy in the background of the shot, and hit record. I share my thoughts about forcing yourself to take breaks, even when you feel like you shouldn’t. I dive into the times in my life when that sentiment caused me massive mental health issues, and I point out a few misconceptions that contributed to that self-delusion.If you’re having trouble taking breaks, this is for you.And if you’re good at taking breaks, please tell me how to do it ;)Here’s my “take the break or the break takes you” moment.The blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/take-a-break/The podcast episode: https://share.transistor.fm/s/218285c3The video: https://youtu.be/lmPE0ZT37L8You'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comFind me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/arvidkahl/This episode is sponsored by Acquire.com
