How do you balance the need for productivity with the need for rest and relaxation?

Question

Do you have a strict "on" and "off" schedule?

Do you dedicate specific hours (or days) for work vs. recharging?

And, what do you do during those periods of "recharging"?

Would love to hear your approach here 🙏

Calendar blocking helped me a lot with this - I schedule my focus slots ahead of time, for the deep work, I do the same for meetings and breaks or when I have to run an errand during the work-day. This helps both me and my team have visibility and be informed on when they can reach me. For recharging, I'd like to take long walks with my dog, call friends and family, and if possible meet-up with them.

I sprint to get my work done at the beginning of each day, then reward myself with exercise and leisure activities. BTW, stay tuned on a program we are launching soon to help you succeed with your work-life balance: https://www.producthunt.com/disc...
