Choosing to remain productive during March Madness

Hi!

Are there any other fellow WA members here in the community who are into March Madness? For those of you outside of the U.S. it is the annual college basketball tournament that has grown into an enormously popular event at this time of year.

I remember when I used to "work for the man" that in fact people would be listening to the games with walkman's hidden away as much as possible; although the ear bud wires protruding from both ears was a dead giveaway.

Also the break rooms where televisions often resided had them turned on to the channels that had the games on - workers as well as management taking that extra long lunch break, lol!

One year in New England in the early 1990's where I lived at the time there was a blizzard with my work place cancelled. I remember it was like a joyous holiday as I settled myself all day in front of a television at home the entire day.

It is a fact that across the U.S. in many jobs, (white and blue-collar) that the work productivity goes down. This is especially true during the first two days of the tournament, (yesterday and today) as games on the East Coast will start right after noon. With a total of 18 games being televised each day, basketball will last until past midnight!

Still despite my love for sports, I have chosen to try and remain productive with my online business. Actually yesterday as the college that I attended and earned two degrees, the University of Connecticut, had their first game start at 1:30 East Coast time I made a change in my content writing schedule: I got up earlier in the morning and got right to work.

I ended up finishing what I had planned on posting to one of my websites by 1:30 as well as other work. Later on that evening I did a few other things related to this new posting - notifications to social media, and other "chores".

Today it has been much the same! Tomorrow the University of Connecticut women's team start out their journey towards a 4th consecutive championship the game starting at 11 in the morning.

So I want to ask. Are there any other WA members out there who have a passion for college basketball? With it being March Madness have you done any slight alterations with your online business regarding the work you put into it?

And to any other UConn fans out there who are WA members - Go Huskies!!
