If you took a real week off - phone off, email on OOO - what would break?
If your honest answer is "a lot," that's not a time-management problem. It's an infrastructure problem. Growth doesn't break businesses. Weak infrastructure does.
At the beginning of most businesses, the founder runs everything by necessity. They make the calls, hold the relationships, and know how everything works.

The founder becomes the impediment to their own goals, and growth grinds to a halt. Not because they're not working hard enough, but because the business was never built to run without them.
