Consistency and discipline are the twin engines that drive long-term success for founders. Many can spark an idea, but relentless commitment to daily progress is what transforms a vision into reality. How do you balance the demands of staying disciplined with the need for rest and self-care? --- This post was migrated from connect.com and was originally published at an earlier date.
Love this question! This is definitely a tough one as there’s no shortage of ways to work 24/7. Discipline is critical, so I apply the same kind of discipline towards my work as I do to rest and self care. This means scheduling it daily, actively taking breaks from socializing/networking after a big push, and being just as committed to rest as I am to the hustle. I consider hiking, napping, creativity, and cuddling my dogs equally important to my long term success as outreach, networking, continued education, forecasting, pitching, etc. so I make sure to prioritize them the same way. I’ll also try and take calls while walking, listen to podcasts while working out, take meetings hiking, or go with clients to a soul cycle class, if I want to kill two birds with one stone
