letting my intrusive thoughts win

[millen @millenrastogi]

The other night I was up around 3 AM, rocking the baby back to sleep with one hand and scrolling through emails I'd deal with in the morning with the other.

I'm burned out. I'll just say that plainly.

I started at 23 and I own 100% of my companies, so there's nobody to hand the hard week to. I've stopped expecting the burnout to go away. What keeps getting better is how I handle it.

Something that used to take me a full day to recover from now takes about an hour. Something that used to knock me out for a week now takes one good night of rest.

Which raises the real question for me. What does good rest even look like when you have an infant at home?

I want to be a present dad. I also want to show up for my friends and family, and that's before the businesses and everything else on the list.

I don't have a clean answer. What I've got is a shorter recovery time and a team that doesn't need me for everything. Every function has one owner and every process has one master doc, so the routine stuff gets handled while I'm asleep or with my family.

If you're juggling a lot right now, I'd put the energy into getting faster at bouncing back. That's been the part I can actually control.

How are you finding real rest these days?

[millen @millenrastogi]

The last business I looked at had clean books and good margins.

Then I asked to see the on-call phone log from the last three months.

Half the after-hours calls were going straight to the owner's cell.

You won't find that in any CIM.

I still made an offer. It was at the low end of my 1 to 3x range, with him staying on long enough to hand those calls over.
