As an entrepreneur, it can be tricky to have a healthy lifestyle balance. Most of the time, you cannot stop thinking about your work. It is a bit like a relationship, you love it, you are willing to sacrifice a lot for it, but you also need some time off (e.g. personal space ) I have been reading a lot about different techniques, methods and tips to achieve that balance and consequently be more effective, focused and “energized”. Here are three articles on this topic you might find useful:

• How To Stay Focused – 63 (Very Focused) Ways
• 25 Body Hacks to Supercharge Yourself
• 55 Ways to Get More Energy

Obviously you cannot achieve everything from the start but you have a lot to benefit from adopting some of this advice! Something I have always done since I was a kid is practicing some kind of sport. Sport helps me release stress and forget about work for a least 2 hours I have mostly played basketball and football (soccer) as I enjoy being part of a team. Since 2008, I play futsal with a group of international players. Futsal is a variant of football played indoors between two teams of four players and a goalkeeper. We are competing in the Vikings Futsal premier league this season (after winning the second league last year) and things are getting quite competitive (and exciting of course!)

WorldCrew

Being a mix of international players (British, Norwegian, Kiwis, French, South African and Zimbabwean!), we had to find a way to “unite” players under the same banner. Naturally, we picked the name “WorldCrew” and start designing a team jersey. Thanks to the good guys at PocketSmith (you rock!), we have signed a sponsorship deal that see us proudly wearing jersey featuring the PocketSmith logo! It was great to have Jason and James supporting us during our last game and there is no doubt we will bring back many more victories and I hope we will one day play on the Tokyo Rooftop Field! Keep it up
