    Yes, absolutely, and I think it’s a must! Why make sub par decisions for your product that you’re working so hard on just because you’re not in the best mind frame and maybe feeling burnt out? I think it’s essential that you make some time for yourself to get some quality downtime, recharge, and come back with a fresh mindset and with a lot of energy to act

    With an open and transparent mind, you can. Any founder can. In fact, science says taking breaks is necessary for doing a significant task. This helps you restore energy, gives a new perspective, and most importantly, saves you from burning out.

    It is hard to do it but you've got to realise if you don't you'll burn out faster than ever. I wrote a little tweet about this a while back: https://twitter.com/thisismeiher...

    Yes, absolutely Sayoni. Taking time to recharge and rejuvenate can actually enhance productivity and creativity in the long run and not to forget self-care is not a luxury but a necessity for sustainable success.
