Remember to Take Time Out for You Too!
It is easy to get caught up in working.
So much so that you may not want to take time off or may not realize how many hours you are putting into your work.
Work is important.
But the truth of it is that you can and will work BETTER and accomplish even more, and do it faster and more efficiently when you are well-rested, both mentally and physically.
Take some time off and go do something you have been putting off for a while - and do it just fr the recreation and fun of it!
Here are a few ideas to consider;
- Go for a walk/hike in a nearby park
- Go kayaking on a lake or river
- Try zip lining
- Go camping for the weekend
- Rent a houseboat and have a mini-vacation over a long weekend
- Start riding a bike again
- Go take a hang gliding intro flight/class
Have a great weekend, make it count more by taking some time for yourself too!
Best regards,

I 110% agree with you here LD.
Work is important yes, but we must not let it occupy ourselves 24/7.
Lets think, why do we work? Obviously to have enough money to sustain ourselves and our families.
Working more, in most cases will lead to a higher income, great! Who doesn't really want to earn more, but at what cost?
Burnout, stress, an unhealthy lifestyle and never seeing your loved ones because of too much work is never a good option in my book.
What's important is to find a work/life balance so we can still support those who rely on us, but also have down time, holidays, relaxation, precious family moments and just enjoy ourselves when we need to.
I hope you are taking time for yourself and enjoy a fabulous weekend too my friend!
Life has to have fun times, can't be just work all the time. Otherwise, what's the point!
Enjoy your weekend too!
So true, L.D.!
It is vital that we strike a balance in our daily lives, take time to smell the coffee, tea, espresso or the proverbial roses...grin.
Thanks for reminding us!

Thank you for this all-important reminder. I have come to realize that when I take occasional breaks from work and do something fun, I come back refreshed and re-energized.
Another thing we should add is: have a start time and an end time. Do not leave it open-ended. It affects your productivity.
