Last night I was having a conversation with my husband about a really popular hedge fund guy who works like a fucking mad man and hustles HARD all the time during “work time” and then “shuts it off” when he’s “done” and work hours are over, and is able to completely relax and do nothing. And the whole time he was telling me this story, my mouth was on the ground, like “how can you shut it off?”. I legitimately just did NOT understand. I was not born to shut it off. I was not created and put on this earth to work really hard and then relax. Nor do I want that. It sounds like incredible TORTURE to me. Relaxing is boring as hell. I get antsy and irritable when someone tries to get me to take a break and relax. And I realize that not many people think like this. But those who do, are often the ones who are making more magic happen in their lives, and definetely faster than those who love to work hard, then take a BREAK. I DO believe self-care is important. I DO believe you need to sleep (but we don’t ALL need 8+ hours!). I DO believe you need to take time for YOU. But in no way do I believe that you need to completely “shut things off” and take hours or even days off. AHHHH, that makes me feel gross just thinking about it. And this feeling is coming up a lot more now that it’s the holiday season and people are booking “vacations” and batching content for their businesses so...
