Recognize the value of time off

Perfectionism may lead you to put in more than 40 hours a week at work and put your professional life before your personal life. Utilize your paid time off or vacation days to make time for yourself.

If you haven't had a vacation or a day off in a while, you may sometimes just need to take a break to refuel. Keeping a healthy work-life balance may require taking a personal day in order to continue working at your best and prevent burnout. Spend a day or two away from work to focus on your personal interests and pastimes. When you get back to work, think about how the business might continue to run well even if you were focusing on your personal well-being.
