It seems to be a constant struggle to keep everything on your plate accounted for. So many "to dos" , projects , goals and then there is the pesky friends and family that want a piece of you as well.
Sometimes you feel like you are time managing yourself to death! Is it OK to have a time out, relax and kick back? I say not only should you but in order to keep your sanity and maintain your feverish pace you have to.
I did just that Saturday night. Mindless movie with lots of stuff blowing up, tasty beverage and popcorn(more than a fist full but less than the size of a bread box).
There was a time, the guilt the following day for wasting my time and indulging in empty calories would have driven me into a bad mood for the rest of the day. Instead of beating myself up over four hours of the weekend I now look at it as down time to recharge and more importantly if I spend my down time with family and friends its noursihment for the soul.
The trick is to recognize your down time, enjoy it but also know when its time to get back to work, lifes work. Its not so hard and daunting to go full throttle at 110% when you know this weekend you have a little "me" time to look forward to.
However you decide to spend your time to recharge the important thing is to make sure you fit it in on a regular basis. We all have those projects that come up and require our undivided attention for a period of time. It should be just that, however, a reasonable period of time, if not ...Burn out is just around the corner.
Like the saying goes "Everything in moderation, including moderation".
