Working 85 hours/week without burning out! How do we do it?
Let's talk about BURNOUT!
I work 85 hours/week.
There's a great deal of uncertainty and stress involved.
It's common for entrepreneurs.
But how do we do this, week after week, without BURNING OUT?
Well, first of all, I think it's important to state that it's not always necessary.
I think everyone agrees that it’s becoming a bit of a stereotype that you have to work this much in order to become a successful entrepreneur.
You don’t have to. I know a lot of people who don't, and they still have success with what they do.
But that raises the question: why do so many of us work this much, then?
And how do we avoid burning out?
I've just uploaded a new YouTube video.
Here, I'm breaking down my weekly schedule.
I show you how I structure my time to get the most out of it, which circumstances I work under, that allows me to still have free time, and most importantly - why I’ve been able to do this for the past 4 years, and still haven’t burned out.
It's live, right here:

What do you think?
Do you also work much more than the average full-timer?
And why? What keeps you going?
Good for you Simon!
You are a unique and obviously highly productive.
i've worked in Silicon Valley since the early 1990's (yes i'm in my 50s). It was very common in the mid to late 90's for everyone in the valley to say they worked 80 hours a week.
You asked "what do you think"?
I think working 80+ hours per week is not a wise thing to aspire to. 2 reasons:
just my opinion, but really appreciate your advice on exercise, eating right, and structure.
A very wise comment thanks for that.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
I can definitely follow what you mean - and at the end of this video, I'm also stressing how you shouldn't do anything like this if it doesn't feel right for you.
And certainly not because you think it's what entrepreneurs are "supposed" to do.
But I see how the video and title can come off a bit like "advertising" working that much.
Thanks for commenting, though 🙏
I 100% agree with both of your points!
