Our Suggestions ✍️

✨ Podcasts: A good way to switch off is to listen to non-AI focused podcasts. I’m pretty weak at this myself. I always find myself veering to AI content and learning about new developments/perspectives. But I’m pushing myself to listen to history podcasts atm which I’m really enjoying!

👙 ☀️ Staycations: Taking full on holidays isn’t always an option for early stage founders due to budget and time constraints. If a proper holiday isn’t possible, it can be helpful to take time for local getaways, e.g. going to the local outdoor pool and turning off, going for drives, hikes and local trips. Intentionally blocking out some time in the calendar for these small trips is necessary to keep you charged and fuelled up for the year. We’re still working on this one ourselves!

😎 🎤 Hang out with friends and check out Local Concerts + Movie Nights: Don’t forget to prioritize your personal relationships which can sometimes be hard when you’re deep in building a company. Don’t forget, friends and family are key supporters to help you keep going and building. Our favourite ways to reconnect with friends and family is to check out local concerts and movie nights, have board game nights and do activities. There’s tons of free activities happening in the summer so don’t forget to take advantage of it!

🛥️ Don’t follow your investors on social media: Remember to take care of yourselves, your investors are doing the same whilst vacationing in Cannes (best not to follow them on social media).
