Working Too Much Or Not Enough?



Working Too Much Or Not Enough?

Do You Work Too Much Or Not Enough?

Are your meat grinder work habits actually pushing you forward making progress? Or are you experiencing diminishing returns on your time(maybe I should say overtime). Do you remember what your kids look like? How about the sound of their voice? If your child walks into the room one day and you notice they suddenly look taller I’m going to say you might want to dial it back a bit.

Quicker Than You Think

Trust me, one day you will wonder where their childhood went when you hear them asking for the keys to the car. Or when they announce you’re going to be a grandparent. I know you’re thinking those days are a long way off. That’s delusional. When it happens it’s too late to get that time back.

There is a legitimate argument for working less, taking daily rest time, spending time with the people you care about, while actually being more productive. Of course there are those that don’t work enough. They need to push themselves a little more and be more productive. It’s difficult to find that balance between the two.

It Is Avoidable

Your mind works better when it’s well rested. It works better when you have spent quality time with the people you care about. And your mind works better when you are happy. Overwork causes stress and stress lowers productivity. Stress causes health problems and will eventually cause you to be unhappy.

A well rested, clear thinking entrepreneur who takes the time to have a tickle war with their five year old and date night with the spouse, will have a healthier business and a happier work environment for their team members. And you’ll have a lot more memories to cherish when you realize your youngest kid just went off to college. And you might just make more money.

Don't Forget To Have Fun!

So this newsletter is intentionally short this week. It’s time for a dinner with my wife and a weekend away from the computer (well almost). So stop reading, turn off your email and your devices and go have some fun. If you don’t have a significant other to spend the weekend with, go find one!

Enjoy your weekend!

That's it for this time. See you next week!

Don't Be The Fly October 10, 2025 Image created using ojoy.ai About 5 years ago I came across a book called- You²- A High Velocity Formula for Multiplying Your Personal Effectiveness In Quantum Leaps by Price Pritchett. You can order the book here. It’s a tiny book, only about 35 pages. But it’s one of the most powerful books I’ve ever read especially for entrepreneurs struggling with being overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck. You squared is about “accomplishing far more, in less time, with...

Days Become Minutes October 4, 2025 As you might already be aware, I write my newsletters myself without the aid of AI. You may have noticed my “Written By Humans” logo at the top of each article. However, writing ad copy and marketing materials is another matter entirely. I’m not the best at that type of writing and it takes me probably 10 times longer than the average copywriter to make an adequate piece of ad content. But lately when it comes to creating marketing content I’ve been able to...

Are You A BOBO? September 26, 2025 Does this sound familiar? You feel like you and your business are stuck. You are exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed.
