The work yourself into dust mindset definitely has to be throttled back otherwise you'll only be dust and so will your business.
One of the things I haven noticed is that going for a run, or a bike ride or getting away doesn't mean I'm not working.....it just means I am working in a different way.
I reframe in the form of a corporate America meeting. When I was working in CA, I would go to a meeting which meant I wasn't at my desk. Today, I go out for a run, coffee or ride and it's a meeting. I will inevitably think about the company but I am not strapped to a desk and working.
It is a reframing that helps me to get out from under the thumb of work!
I like this reframe! Whenever I go to spin class or for a walk/bike ride, I think of it as my active recharge time. Maybe I'll have ideas flowing to me, maybe I'll listen to a podcast, maybe I'll listen to music. But ultimately, I'm giving my mind and body the freedom to move in the directions that feel natural instead of forcing myself to work for long periods of time.
