Don't forget to take a break 😴

Hey hackers,

Just a friendly reminder to take a break!
Building something from scratch is really hard, and there's nothing wrong with taking some time to rest and recharge.

Remember, building something is a marathon, not a sprint 🏃.
It can be fun to grind for a bit.
But, the long-term benefits of sticking with something overwhelm any quick gains you might be able to snatch.

Everyone is different, but everyone has limits.
The whole 'hustle' culture seem to gloss over this, but at the end of the day, we're all human, and we all need a rest now and then.

And that's ok.

Last week was a pretty big week for me. And I know myself - I tend to burn out pretty quickly. So, rather than continue to grind myself down, I decided to take some time to myself this week.
Got off twitter. Hardly worked on my app.
And I'm feeling so. much. better!
I've gone from drained and tired, to excited and energized.
And I can't wait to get back into things!

So, if you've been feeling drained, tired, anxious, or whatever, then maybe consider taking a break of your own.
Everyone is different, but I think it will probably help.

Cheer, and happy hacking.
