    Just ask a question on PH about work hours every week for founders. Surprisingly lots of people respond to it, and one of the comment mentions about this question, so I post it here:) For my team, we do have legal holidays, but we are busy through out the week. Curious about the holidays for the rest of us. Also, feel free to connect and check my product on my profile!

    As a founder you are needed a lot in the start, later you are not need as much. Catch up on holiday then.

    Everyday is workday, everyday is holiday. Startup is not a job, it is a lifestyle.

    Holidays are a rare luxury 😅

    At least 8-10 times every year :)

    Don't need "holidays" when you truly love what you do -- every day working on the product is a holiday :)

    It depends on year :D last year I have 6 days off, year before 3 days. This year I plan to hit 8-10 days. :D (I am not founder, but work in startup on C level. )

    Of course, every person should have holidays, if the founder does not have holidays, how will he understand clients? If a founder lives like a client and breathes the same life, then it matters. Tembolee holidays need to relax first of all.

    You really don’t have periods when you completely switch off. But it’s also important to give yourself time off to fully recharge and reset
    Sure, but I try to be online all the time)

    Holidays are still coming up, and spending time with family is crucial.
