Taking care of yourself is vital to both physical and mental health, yet it's often neglected during busy periods. After working 50-hour weeks for a major fundraising event, I share my experience with post-event exhaustion and the importance of intentional recovery.

• The challenges of being an overachiever/perfectionist when planning events
• How intense work periods cause basic self-care and household tasks to be neglected
• The necessity of rest and recovery after high-energy projects
• Learning from my former boss who worked herself to death (really)
• Why we need to "adult ourselves" by setting boundaries around work
• The special importance of self-care for only children and single people
• The reality that no one reaches the end of life wishing they had worked more
