If it’s any consolation Ben, I’m sure your work on Alfred has helped a lot of people. It’s definitely helped me personally. But I do question whether I would need recourse to apps like Alfred to get my health back on track if I’d set better (any!) boundaries in my own work life and invested more in my personal/home life. We only get one shot at this and it’s over very quickly so we need to put max time and effort into creating a harmonious environment to enjoy the time we have with the ones we love being with. To quote every airline safety briefing: “Put on your own oxygen mask first before attempting to help others”. Be well!

This is something I’ve been working hard on since ending my 21 year marriage. I’m not there yet, but I’m getting better everyday.

For me it was about self-respect. I now tell myself that if I burnout, I am no use to anyone, let alone me and my loved ones
