As a business owner and passionate entrepreneur, I understand that we don’t like spending time on useless things.
But here’s what I found through experience, if you’d disconnect yourself from your work, you may run out of creativity and get stuck in a repeated cycle of exchanging time for money.
However, if you want to take a short break and disconnect from your world, why not go for something to help you be better at your work.
