When you start a new business, you often care more about the numbers than the people behind those numbers. A business is more about the people it serves (the consumers and the team behind the business) than the numbers which may or may not be an accurate representation of your business health.

It pays off to carve some time for yourself. What do you like doing in your leisure time? Think about the hobbies and then add leisure slots into your day-to-day agenda so you can spend time with yourself happily without being interrupted.
