I like things where you can cheat a little bit, like you can be relaxing and taking time off, but really alluding. That's like books, documentaries, or just like socializing with people who have good things to say. Just those are ways to recharge and learn at the same time. Do you ever find motivation from going out from others and they're telling you about the things they're doing? Only if the person's really good. If they're just thinking about it, it's agonizing. And if the worst one is when it's fake, because that's just the worst.
As business owners, we are constantly faced with the internal and external conflict of achieving "work-life balance". At times we can feel guilty for working too much and at other times for not working enough. We hear the saying to "work smarter, not harder", but how do we know if we're working hard enough? On the contrary, there are people working extremely hard with very little reward for their efforts who may need some time for reflection and planning to gain perspective of the bigger picture.
