What do you do to maintain work-life balance & health as founders/ makers?

My go-to is sports- mainly tennis! Sometimes strategy video games (trust me they help make better decisions- I think😜)

Endurance running always helps to instil that sense of defeating obstacles no matter how painful

What work-life balance? 😜 I don't have much balance but I try to get some sun everyday by eating dinner outside, and walk for an hour a day. My food is also usually pretty healthy and home-cooked. Cooking is my meditative break, and I enjoy it greatly. I also strum my guitar during breaks and on some nights get in some mindless shows on Netflix. Currently I'm trying to rewind my sleep clock by sleeping 15-20 minutes earlier per day.

@chitterz Home cooked food is super! I do that too, because I put on weight when I was eating out. Music is so awesome, I should re-pickup an instrument maybe :)

I made myself a certain work schedule in which I have all my activities in balance.

@cloodoworkspace Yup yup! We're the same hahaha!

@ajinkya_bhat good to see people with the same hobbies out there xD
As a maker, I find it helpful to take breaks throughout the day to clear my head and come back to my work refreshed.
