Let's be honest: any founder and his team are under a lot of stress.
What are some effective ways to manage stress and prevent burnout?

For me, sports help out de-stress. Also, trying to really disconnect from screens for a day (especially my laptop) is important when you're feeling down.

@steve_lourdessamy Fully agree!
Do your favorite things! It helps to burn your stress. Be it sports, music, sleeping, spending time with friends and family, anything.
@excellentweb_australia Exactly! The main thing is to take a break from work!
1) Take needed breaks.
3) Watch, listen, and read anything that helps. It could be anything ranging from fiction to self-help and whatnot.
@senthil99nathan Great!
I will begin. Sports help me a lot. Evening workouts on weekdays and morning weekends workouts are very reloading and give me a lot of energy.

I advise you every weekend to go to nature with your family and enjoy the moment.
I had the opportunity to work from the beach this summer, so I took full advantage of it. It helped me keep the work life balance a lot
@nickanisimov Not at all!
Crack open a beer and binge on Netflix. Sometimes dive into a side project for a change of scenery, coding as zen, you know?
@j_lopez_226 Switching to another project is interesting, didn't think about it. Thank you!
Camping is a great way to relieve stress. 🌲🏕️
@iren_ivashchinenko Absolutely, Iren!

Playing a good computer game for a few hours can relieve the stress of a week.
@oleg_eltsov And sometimes a couple of hours in the game can create another week of stress 😂

Pilates definitely helped me a lot - anything that requires you to move your body is the best way to destress! Even taking a walk is enough
@alishawidianti Sports help me a lot too.
Since I work in front of my laptop I try to spend weekends as actively as possible and not to consume much information (some kind of digital detox)
@evgeniia5682 Too much information just creates stress, I agree.

Spending time with my pups and husband, watch a movie, and eat a lot of carbs. :P
nature, sport, music..
Rest is a change of activity, so it doesn't even matter what to do, the main thing is not work
@katushkas I agree, the main thing is to take a break and not think about work.
Working out helps out. Playing board and computer games helps unwind. Makes me much fresher and sharper.

For me its having a solitary weekend, with all notifications off. Strolls and beloved media are also a nice way to recharge.
I’m a swimmer and I find that getting in the water helps me clear my head a lot!
Long-distance running for me is like meditation – a time when I can focus on positive thoughts and envision myself achieving my goals
I completely get where you're coming from. Dealing with stress as a founder and with your team can be seriously tough. It's crucial to find effective ways to manage it and avoid burnout. Personally, I've discovered a pretty unique way to de-stress that might resonate with you.I stumbled upon Japanese ASMR, and it's been a game-changer for me. Instead of zoning out to the usual stuff, I found these incredible ASMR channels online. They create such a personalized and calming experience that it feels like they're talking directly to you.
