Sometimes family is not enough. I live working for myself and experiencing the mental stimulation involved in trickling a difficult problem. But I also need to be simulated socially to be around other people who challenge me and bring out the best in me even if that simply means making me laugh.
As human beings we all need community and that extends beyond our immediate families. Our species has been organizing itself into tribal units for millennial and this not a need that has gone always in the twenty first century. In spite of the opportunities to connect with people all over the world via technology we all need a night out with friends once in a while. Significant time with likeminded peers can feed your soul.
Sometimes, if you have been dealing with your family all day and you just want to hand out with some other adults. Sometimes you need a night away from your spouse. This is normal and necessary yet many entrepreneurs get to lost in growing their business that they forget to regularly connect with others. If your business is taking you away from basic social interactions that is not good and your work will ultimately suffer. You need to ding the time to get away for a night and recharge, this is more important than most people realize and therefore easy to neglect.
Personally, I only really need to see my friends every other week or so. Once or twice a month is more than enough for me to feel stimulated socially and yet, if I do not plan it, I can easily drift into seasons in which I go months without see the guys. I need interaction with people who make me take things less seriously as well as those who are smart and driven. As long as I get that every now than then, I am good. I also have to make this time a priority or it does not happen.
Figure out what this means for you and allocate time to make it a priority. Figure out what the minimum thousands re for what you need for each category in life. Then prioritize hitting those. Anything over those minims is great you can consider that gravy. Just do not kill yourself to get after something y8ou have already achieved. When you know you have already won the lottery, you can relax. You do hat have to goer anymore. You can sit back and enjoy the life you have created. If you want to keep going after that you can do it with ease and enjoyment.
