I'm working on my own startup (as a junior in college) and one of my close friends told me to slow down.<p>I've definitely thought this a couple times in the past. Being an entrepreneur, and goal oriented, I sometimes forget to stop and smell the roses. There's more to life than this and sometimes I forget.<p>Anyone else feel the same way?
Sometimes, you just need to throw away your laptop and just do nothing. I find that staring at clouds on a cool spring evening can clear your head real fast :-) In fact, it's my best debugging strategy.
I'm always keeping a balance between the two, yes, absolutely.<p>Sidenote: having reduced your expenses will help you ensure you can feel free to smell the roses whenever you feel the need.
Lets see, stop and smell the roses, I think I've got a user story for that somewhere...I'll move it up in priority, but it'll still be sometime in late May before it gets into a sprint.
