  > We almost never talked about work while at home though. This is also important, you need a place and time to disconnect once in a while.

    did you found a company once yourself? i have never felt the ability to disconnect since then.

      After two or three years of 80 - 100 hour weeks I couldn’t do it anymore. I either had to change something or burn out and quit. What I did was to visualise the business failing. Every which way I could possibly imagine in detail all while telling myself “I don’t care I’ll find a way to be okay.” Now when I’m at work I’m totally focused on that and when I’m not I’m totally focused on whatever else I may be doing. I don’t feel stress anymore now either.

      I do own my business, it's fairly low volume but it's sustainable.
