Unplugging from your business can feel like an impossible task. We asked six entrepreneurs: How do you create space and time away from work?
1/ Schedule it.
“Google calendars truly are amazing—we block out hours on them to create the free time and headspace we need as cofounders. From ‘No-Plans Wednesday’ nights to daily lunch and work blocks, we use the organization to create balance. Also, did you know that Slack has a snooze feature? Highly recommend between the hours of midnight and 6 A.M.!”
—JORDANA KIER, cofounder, Lola
2/ Announce it.
“I make it clear to the people who work for me that I need a break to recharge. I only unplug when I have provided the context to the rest of the team so that it’s never unexpected. I make time to be with family, eat, watch movies, and not talk about work. When 99 percent of my conversations revolve around work-related issues, simply not talking about it can provide a lot of perspectives.”
