I was so burned out, I didn’t even know I was burned out until six months after the fact. That’s a story for another day, but I’ll tell you this much: burnout isn't pretty. You can't afford burnout. • You think you’re saving time by pushing yourself. • You think you’re preventing problems by overworking. • You think you’re getting more done by grinding harder. But the time you will lose by being burned out is a million times worse than the time you think you’ll lose now. In 2014, I started taking Seventh Week Sabbaticals. I work six weeks and take off every seventh week. I also pay my employees to take off every seventh week. We don’t have “unlimited time off”, we have mandatory time off. It is my mission, by 2047, to get every company in the world to pay their employees to take off every seventh week. That's the goal with my next book: Seventh Week Sabbatical.
