Ask HN: Founders, how are you managing your mental and physical health?
I'm a neophyte founder (FT founder since July 2021) working on an HR product that helps employers detect and address burnout in the workplace (https://www.mychangelab.com/). As you all know, knowing something only partially protects you from those pitfalls. Startup life has been lonely, full of uncertainty, exhilarating, full of hope, and everything in between (and this all happens in the course of one day)! I find that I need to be extra vigilant and diligent to be active on a daily basis, take frequent breaks, and eat healthy foods (meaning eating something other than my son's Halloween candy stash and takeout).
In an effort to combine work and exercise, I've been organizing founder hiking meetups.
How are you all managing work and healthy routines to maintain physical and mental health? I'd love to hear your personal stories whether you are trying something new, looking for new routines, or have great routines to share!
