Structure and Organization

Or things that no longer apply now that I don't do the 9 - 5 thing anymore.

I spent over 30 years running to meet other people's schedule. I had to start work at a certain time, so I had to be on the road at a certain time. In my last job, due to issue with parking, I had to be at work effectively 1 - 2 hours before the usual start time. Just for a freaking parking spot.

Now, however, I no longer run on someone else's schedule.

I'm having to learn to organize myself, my time and my attention in a manner not needed in quite a while.

While I can honestly tell you I am better rested than I can ever recall, I am also experiencing the need to walk away from things to recharge.

This last weekend, due to some issues with my site, I let SiteSupport do its job and I walked away for a couple of days. Very little email review, very little reading, no posting. No late night (or early morning) getting up to putter about.

I like to putter on the Internet (a lot) and it is very easy to slip over to WA to see what is going on and do a little something. However, I know what burn out looks like and if my business is to continue I must guard against it. Vigilantly.

As you consider your goals and objectives, I urge you to also look at what is ultimately best for you to meet those goals and objectives. A little Me Time is not a bad idea if it recharges batteries and rejuvenates your enthusiasm.

Thanks to SiteSupport, the issues with my sites are fixed and I am back ready to move forward.
