Set strict boundaries. No work after 8 PM. Use that time for gym or family. Your brain needs recovery time to stay creative.

Automate as much as possible. If a task takes you more than 30 minutes daily and is repetitive, hire a freelancer or use a script.

Remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint. If you burn out, the company dies. Taking a weekend off is a business decision, not a luxury.
