Welcome back to The Huddle!
“Practice the Pause.”
Updates from the Timeout Team & Community
Our Timeout symbol is a pause button — a beacon of rest, recovery, recalibration, and a call to the present moment. As a team, we want to walk the walk, lead by example, and #TakeATimeoutForMentalHealth when we need to.
Each team meeting we check in about burnout — our chronic stress, energy depletion, exhaustion, apathy, capacity, and bandwidth. Over the past while, our team’s burnout scores have been extremely high. We’ve realized that we need to hit the pause button while we’re working on building it. And that’s okay.
In the best interest of our mental health, we have decided to take August off. We’ll be scaling back to focus on fundraising and critical objectives until September. One of these critical objectives includes exciting momentum with product development and customer acquisition, which we will keep rolling. Our official Program Evaluation product launch will be in early September. Stay tuned!
Thank you so much for being a part of building Timeout to what it is today. We feel the energy from our community, and it continues to propel us forward.
