Last week was quite the week for me. Monday was tax preparation day, Tuesday was filled with travel and meetings, Wednesday I was sick as a dog, Thursday was a catch-up day, and Friday was another snow filled day. Needless to say, this was not the typical week.
Every once in awhile it’s good to have weeks like that – they help me appreciate all the other weeks when the weather is good, my health is well, and everything seems to be moving along nicely.
Weeks like this past one also allow me to take a breather, get out of my normal routine and recharge. In other words, I’ve been given an opportunity for a fresh start.
Don’t wait for illness to force you to take a break – schedule yourself a break, even if only for half a day. Don’t worry about all the work that won’t get done – it will in its own good time. I can guarantee you that you’ll come back refreshed, your head will be clear, and you’ll be more focused than previously – meaning, you’ll be more productive.
So when’s your next fresh start occurring?
