When you are in the driver seat even more so an entrepreneur it often does not mix well with “life balance.” You have those people who just need to have someone else be the boss and they have not realized this yet. Then you have the people who will never turn down an opportunity no matter how small of an impact it will have and how demanding it is.
In places like Steemit, many seem very concerned with taking a break. They think in terms of “what if that kills my momentum?” While numbers could be lower the longer break you tend to take. There nothing more killing to one’s momentum then someone past there burn out phase and just the “I don’t give a dang anymore.” Once you lose that spark that made your blogs something amazing to enjoy it’s hard to get that back.
Workaholics need breaks like everyone else. Otherwise, their entire life passes by them and one day they wake up and realize “this is all I have and it was not worth it.” Some very smart people leave behind some finically rewards environments because they found something worth so much more than what money can bring.
That is great you have the next best thing when you yourself don’t know when to take a break. Someone else to poke you and remind you there other things to do in life!
Hey @enjar
Thanks for the reply, you make good sense :)
It is a bit of worry about momentum that 'forces' people to continue on, but as you say, quality of content can suffer due to this and so maybe it is not the best thing to do and the break would be better in the long run.
