Last fall, I ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for a pair of glasses that block screens. Ironically, I found myself glued to screens more than ever. I was growing a community of more than 2,000 backers, answering inbounds from reporters, fans, and critics, all while managing our internal team and keeping tabs on our production and distribution partners. I was staying up until 2 a.m. multiple nights per week because I didn’t want to drop the ball or miss out on any opportunities. When I turned to my peers for advice, many of them nodded knowingly and suggested that this is the cost of success.
