Do I really have time for this?!

We don't have to look far to realise that as business owners we are regularly overworked and under-resourced. It reaches way beyond the idea that we're 'too busy' especially in the early days of starting out and bootstrapping our startups.

Most business owners start out 'chief cook and bottle washer', wearing so many hats, and many stay there for a long while before they gain the courage to let go and outsource or employ others. Doing everything in the business simply means there is little time to have the headspace or the energy to contemplate taking care of our own mental health or that of staff if we have any.

Is it always the case that time itself is the problem? Or could it be that it's more about how the time one does have gets spent?

We often do what we like to do, find easier to do, or get more rewards from don't we?! Of course, we do and that's not a bad thing for improving our mental health. However, meanwhile, there are tasks slipping under the radar that may have consequences later for us if they don't get done soon enough e.g., higher stress and anxiety levels!
