As a technology exec you need to disconnect and get some relaxation. You can’t work all the time or you’ll burnout and be ineffective. So, getting away and enjoying time with the family is a must. I realize some technology executives do not believe this, and maybe they are just built differently. But life is too short to just work. Take some time to relax and recharge your batteries.
In today’s fast-paced, constantly connected world, it can be difficult for technology executives to disconnect from work. With the demands of managing a team, staying up to date on industry trends, and meeting project deadlines, many find themselves working around the clock. However, constantly pushing yourself without taking breaks can actually have a negative impact on your productivity and effectiveness as a leader.
That’s why it’s important for a tech executive to make time for relaxation and family activities outside of work.
I haven’t taken a week off in how long, I don’t remember. So, I followed my own advice last week and enjoyed time in Alaska. You forget how beautiful the scenery is when you focus so heavily on work. It was a great trip and I’m planning on making a habit of it. Enjoy your time off… time goes by too quickly.
