I've been preaching balance for a long time, but I haven't really taken my own advice.
Yesterday, I talked about the need to remember to have fun. Today, I'm talking about the need to take a break. And I'm suggesting a forced break. Like many of you here on AR, i love blogging. Love it. Tisza Major-Posner started a Blogaholics Anonymous group a few days ago, and I joined. Of course. I've talked to Julie Ferenzi about the need for balance, for taking breaks. I tell newbies to start practicing balance from the very beginning, so they don't fall into the blogaholic trap. I'm finally going to take my own advice.
This is my last post on Sundays. The comments I made on a couple of posts this morning are also my last comments on Sundays.
- I need to have one day where I don't touch the computer.
- I need to have one day where I can focus on the analog and not the digital.
- I need to have one day where my office, which is in my home, is off limits.
That day is going to be Sunday. It seems like a good day for rest. And I know the rest will energize me and my writing. So when I hit the "Post Blog Entry" button at the bottom of this page... you won't hear from me again on Sundays.
I know this is good advice. I give it all the time. Now I'm taking it.
I'm going to click that button now. See you on Monday.

Hats off to you Jeff! Just stick to it and enjoy your Sundays
Rochell... like you're ever on IM on Sunday! :)
Ann... I'm planning on it!
Sundays off is a good idea, especially if you have family, kids.
I have been thinking the same thing, primarily so I can go fishing with some new friends. (I'm single)
In years past, I gave in and decided I was always going to always have to work Sundays and Saturdays. I thought I would take off on Thursday (to rest up for the working weekend), work 1/2 day Friday (to setup appts for the weekend), and take off Wed at 5pm (in case wanted to go away on Thurs). Well, I only briefly put this plan into effect; and now want some semblence of normalcy on weekends.(off Sunday )
I will do open houses on Sunday if necessary and they will be in the interest of "having fun, meeting people", and nOT actually working.
I miss a regular day off in this business.
Good luck and enjoy your day off.
I have $25 on the table that you put up a post tomorrow.
What's your $25 say? :)
TLW...ROAR!
Yeah Jeff!
Have a good day off!
Blog Boy also says that you will not make it through today without posting. LOL.
That's another $25 bucks on the table :)
Crap...
Ever try to get money from a lion? SVW.
TLW...ROAR :)
THANK YOU for this post. You've challenged me now... I think my wife will be happy!
