Take the PTO

I can’t recall an instance where I regretted taking care of myself. I’ve been pushed in my career to work the extra hours, even for obviously bad reasons. That arbitrary internal deadline no one was actually waiting on? Yeah, we all knew.

Do you remember the classic quote “20 Years From Now, the Only People Who Will Remember That You Worked Late Are Your Kids”? Well, I don’t have kids, but I have loved ones. Fortunately I’m at a stage in my career where I can afford to say No. I’m spoiled, I know.

Boundaries are important, especially in business.
