Founder burnout starts at home: designing a sane space
Create a hard edge between work and rest: pack away equipment, stop work at a chosen hour most nights, and keep the bed free of laptops when possible. Make sleep easier with light control, quiet routines, and a room that feels safe.
Tell co-founders and roommates what recovery looks like for you. Take calls elsewhere when the house needs calm. Avoid making every meal, shower, and conversation a product review.
Burnout is not only a schedule problem. It is often a home-without-off-switch problem.
