Rest is part of the work

When you run your own products, work follows you everywhere, and it's easy to confuse constant availability with commitment. I've done that, and the quality of my decisions dropped.

Now I treat sleep, a proper meal and a day off as part of the schedule, not a reward after the schedule. Tired people ship risky changes.

A business that depends on you never resting is fragile. Building something that survives a quiet weekend is part of the job.
