Quick wins for staying sane during crazy work weeks

Apr 181 min read

When work gets insane I've found a few things that keep me from losing it. Using my lunch break to actually see my family instead of eating at my desk. Setting a hard stop time and closing the laptop. And being honest with my kids that sometimes daddy is stressed but it's not their fault. What do you guys do to decompress after brutal weeks?

Staying sane during crazy weeks is about the little things. These quick wins you're talking about are exactly what separate dads who burn out from ones who keep it together.

Using lunch break to actually step away is something I struggle with. Usually I just eat at my desk while working. What does your step away actually look like?

Interested to hear what those quick wins are specifically. When work gets insane for me I just white knuckle through it which probably isn't smart.
