Every Other Friday...

Thursday, October 27, 2011

A few weeks ago I decided to start taking every other Friday off from work. My goal was to make no plans, to just let my day be serendipitous and spontaneous...to just go with the flow. My reasons for doing it were simple: to spend more time with family and to see how my work would hold up without me there. 

When you own your own business it's easy to create a universe that revolves solely around you, which is good from a control standpoint but really bad from a "having a life" standpoint. So anyhoo tomorrow will be my 3rd Friday off in 6 weeks and I'm happy to report that the world is still revolving and nobody's told me to F-off and die yet, so it's looking pretty good, 

The first Friday I took my kids to school and they asked me to stay...so I did...all the way through lunch. I had a blast...I'd forgotten how much fun Kindergarten was! The second Friday my kids didn't have school and my wife was helping a friend move, so again it was just me and the kids all day goofin'off and being crazy. I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring!

Any way you cut it, a 3 day weekend is awesome, and really, as long as you're gettiing your work done, I'm not seeing any downside. And, amazingly, when you know you have less days to get your work done you actually start managing your time better...who knew?! (well, probably a lot of you already knew, but hey...it's new to me!)

Lastly, since I'm going to be off tomorrow they'll be no post, so this is my last reminder about The Paleo seminar on Saturday. Officially, the last day to register was yesterday, but we've had a flurry of last minute sign-ups, so I'm thinking what the hell...if you want to come just show up at 9:45am on Saturday with your $35 in cash and we'll get you plugged in...the more the merrier, right?! Have a great weekend!
