Break Time
Time for a Break
Sometimes we need to just step back and chill.
Take a break
Be Still
No!
Not that kind of chill.
The relax type of chill.
Time to take a break.
Walk away from the computer
And go do something that you enjoy
Take a nap
Watch a movie
Eat some good food
Drink a hot cup of tea and sit looking out a window or outside.
Or my favorite go fishing
It is time to take a break.
The things you need to do will still be here tomorrow.
Enjoy your weekend.

I was teaching most of yesterday and missed most of the sunshine - our first day of wonderful weather here in the UK. So I am going to spend as much time as possible outside today. (It doesn't look quite as nice today, but still a lot better than it has been.)
I took my time off earlier this week when the weather was beautiful. I just couldn't sit inside those days. I completed some much needed yard projects. Though they are work, being outside in my yard/garden is relaxing for me. Now I am ready to get back to the computer. It is supposed to storm tomorrow, so it is perfect tiiming.
Yes, it sounds like perfect timing. I know working in the garden is work, but to me it does not seem like work. I can get lost in it really easy and spend the day there.
I really know what you are talking about, Bo. I reached that point this week and decided I had to get away from it all so I did all of those things - apart from fishing - and it really did the trick. The following day, the world looked bright again.
I cannot agree with you more.... I personally become so involved on working on my website and being active here in WA, that I eventually drain myself up and have no more inspiration or the drive to do it.
I think, when that happens, it's like you say, it's time to take a break and do something else that I enjoy doing.
Great post sometimes it is good to take a break and other time it is not good because all you think about is what you have to do and that is not taking a break by any means. I would just rather work and build up my website and start getting some kind of income in and I can always relax later on. I am stubborn that way. I will work from morning into the night.

I used to do that and paid for it with my health for a while. Now at least everyone I stand up and stretch and walk around for just a minute. Then every 4 hours I take a break and study something I want to learn. Yes I keep a schedule. LOL
That is wonderful about keeping a schedule that is something I need to do. I know what you mean about paying with your health. I have worked at different jobs and paid with my health.
I have been behind my lessons and waiting from some help I have asked but I feel that what I read was nice and it is something that we all should practice as we only can be efficient for a few hours having a break it fundamental to ourselves . Rested body and mind can work and grasp much faster and efficiently any info.
Great job
Hi botipton,
Thanks for asking:1) My private policy has being published but it is not showing on next step when I do custom menu and navigation I also just found that my privacy policy has not being published so it is better that I get back one step, fix it and move forward . If the problem persists can I send you a request for help?
You are right Bo!
By the way when you said fishing it came into my mind memories of when I was little, every summer I would go to Blanes in Costa Brava (Catalonia) with all the family, and my grandpa would take me to the beach to go fishing, I was the “bucket guardian” and my duty was to fill it up with water, help h to put the worm into the hook, and keep an eye on the fishes we would catch and he would put them into the bucket. Great memories.. he’s still alive by the way but poor man he’s deafer than a mole and he’s a very poorer version of himself since my grandma died two years ago..
Sorry for long reply!
Have a great weekend everyone!
From what I have heard that part of Spain has great fishing. I was in Spain one time and did not have time to fish. That is one of the things I learned. When spending time with kids and grandkids I am making memories for them and I need to pay attention to what kind of memories I am making.
I did get out a bit this morning but find myself thinking about all the work I have waiting for me at home, so sometimes a break it not the best thing. I really have to learn to shuffle everything and be able to get away without thinking of what i still have to do. I will get there I am confident that I will get it all figured out.
Yes learning to focus when working and letting it go when you are not is important. It is good that you know that and are moving toward it.
Well, I wasn't going to :) I was pushing myself to complete 2 pieces of content today. I have one down, the other started. But yes beginning to feel burnt out. I think I will take a break. Go enjoy the pretty day at the koi pond for a little while with a book.
:) Enjoy your break

Thanks for encouraging us to take a break.
I've got quite obsessed with building my business (and I love it) so I have some difficulties tearing myself away from the computer.
Anyhow I do allow / force myself to take a break and go outside for a walk or jogging. It's so refreshing for body and mind. Of course spending time with my dear ones is most important of all.
Bo, hope you had a good time fishing this weekend.
:-)
I totally agree. There is a time for everything, and family time is very important too. There has to be a balance between the work on our site, and other things, although I too tend to be somewhat obsessed most times.
I fear of falling behind if I don't do 'enough' hours on my website...at least until it takes off. Problem is that I have another website up my sleeve...so is there no end in sight?
Don't forget the ice cream today
No way, I would never forget my ice cream day!
But it was very thoughtful of you, reminding me Bo!
:-)
Me too, would like to have more hours on a day. I'd like to work faster and be able to do more tasks in a shorter time. Not easy to find the balance.
As long as we have ideas, there won't be an end in sight!
Isn't it exciting to work on our dreams and make them come true? I think it's worth all the work, when I envision me having achieved the goal of my dreams.
Now when we have come so far, we will keep going, no matter what!
Hope you had time for an ice cream today you too!
:-)
