Adobe has published his report on the Work-Life Balance 2025 and gives insights into the administration of solo preneaors and small entrepreneurs with their professional and personal life. The report based on a survey of 1,018 entrepreneurs examines the challenges and advantages of entrepreneurship, work habits and the increasing role of AI in business.
The report shows that almost three out of five entrepreneurs experience a better work-life balance than in traditional employment. However, many still have difficulty separating from work, which is only 11 days a year without national holidays. Among the respondents to Z -entrepreneurs, the average number of free days is slightly higher at 13.
In addition, 82 percent of the entrepreneurs stated that they had lost sleep due to concerns due to work, with financial concerns being the most common cause. More than one of ten baby boomers named technological changes as the source of insomnia, while almost everyone said four millions of millions that family -related concerns kept awake at night.
A growing number of entrepreneurs turns to AI tools to optimize their workflows and improve efficiency. According to the report, almost two out of five surveyed entrepreneurs want to save time in 2025 by accepting new AI-driven solutions. On average, entrepreneurs indicate to save six hours a week – sufficient to 310 hours a year by using AI tools.

It was found that SoloPreneurs AI use 17 percent more often than small business owners.
