341 - How to Avoid Burnout by Protecting Your Time with Andrew Hartman

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

What’s the most terrifying phrase that hovers in the back of all our minds as a web designer and web business owner? Well, aside from “email down” it’s likely “burnout.”
You may have seen a fellow web designer go through this or experienced it yourself. And the harsh reality is, burnout is where all roads can lead if we’re not careful.
The onslaught of clients, fulfillment, design, development, troubleshooting, sales, support, administration, calls, meetings, content creation, your OWN businesses work, learning, marketing, team building, and scaling years on end will catch up to you.
I’ve seen it happen to a lot of web designers and business owners I know.
But GOOD NEWS - burnout can be avoided.
I’m 15 years into my journey as a self-employed web designer and entrepreneur and I’m still loving it. But it hasn’t always been a smooth journey. And boy howdy do I wish I would’ve heard this conversation earlier on because on the podcast is CEO of Time Boss, Andrew Hartman, who is sharing some “take your time back” GOLD in this convo!
We cover:

• What burnout often looks like (and what signs to watch out for)
• How to protect your sanity and sustainability
• My weird but helpful categories of Work, Fork, Lork & Sork
• How to turn off your mental load
• How the new trend of “4 day workweeks” often leads to more stress and burnout

And much more. All helpful, practical tips for you to help get more time back, no matter what stage of business you’re in.
Spend some time listening then get some time back my web designer friend!
