b'What To Do When You Just Don\\u2019t Want To Work\\n It\\u2019s the calling card of entrepreneurship.\\n Total flexibility. Time freedom. The ability to make your schedule and change your schedule.\\n But in this episode, I want to talk about something a little less\\u2026 organized.\\n A little less concrete and more, well, reactive.\\n If I\\u2019m being perfectly honest, there are times in my business that I just don\\u2019t want to work.\\n There, I said it! And this is coming from a girl who completely adores my business, the work I get to do, and the people I work with.\\xa0\\n But the best way I can explain this feeling is simply, \\u201cI just don\\u2019t want to do anything.\\u201d\\xa0\\n I want to unplug from everything except The Real Housewives. I want to wipe my calendar clean. And I want to curl up with Scout and watch a few TikToks.\\n 10 years ago, this thought would trigger instant guilt or shame. \\u201cThere\\u2019s so much work to be done!\\u201d\\xa0\\n \\u201cYou\\u2019re the boss, Amy! Set an example, keep your word, don\\u2019t inconvenience others.\\u201d\\n And so in the past, I\\u2019d ignore this feeling\\u2026 pushing through and showing up to my day with a quarter of a tank.\\n Dear friends, as entrepreneurs, when we\\u2019re living for the weekends (or dreading Mondays) we\\u2019re doing it wrong.\\xa0\\n (And my 9-5ers, I know your situation is different. I have a word of advice in this episode for you, too!)\\n It\\u2019s important for you to be able to stop and not do anything.\\xa0\\n Because these feelings of not wanting to do anything are often screaming signs of burnout.\\xa0\\n Sometimes, you need to make time to not do anything. Even if it\\u2019s the middle of the week. You hear me?\\xa0\\n Flexibility is the beauty of being an entrepreneur and running your own business -- lean in. And if you\\u2019re wondering how, this one\\u2019s for you.\\xa0\\n In this episode, I\\u2019m sharing what I do now with feelings of resistance instead of freaking out and falling into a shame spiral.\\n Including:\\n What I do to my schedule\\n How I know what to push and what not to\\n How I find time to really slow down\\n How to not judge yourself when you finally do take that time off\\n And the pep talk you probably need to hear right now\\n When you\\u2019re the boss, you get to decide what it means to be the boss. And that means trusting yourself and your capability to prioritize and make space so that you can show back up as a better partner, leader, friend, and entrepreneur.\\xa0\\n More patient. More present. More impact.\\xa0\\n So go ahead, my dear entrepreneur.

Take some time for yourself when you get to that point of burnout. You don\'t always have to be on.\\n [09:38] The beauty of being an entrepreneur is that you can take time to wind down or do nothing. Being your own boss is a lot of responsibility and a lot of work.
