Because in some cases, such as when you have deadlines or low income, taking time off isn't really an option. Taking time off is a great band-aid, but it doesn't really address the deeper problem, which is the psychology of money and entrepreneurial depression.

I go through this as well, and I can totally relate to how getting sales notifications in my inbox can make or break the day's mood.

But I do take time off, frequently to do things like boating, going to Disney World, and the beach. It buys a bit of energy, but not much.

So for me, taking time off is a generic approach that's easy to recommend, but not especially effective.
