It is easy to get so wrapped up in work you forget to take any time off. I had a great day yesterday with family and friends celebrating my nephews birthday - and I feel quite revived today as a result of having the day off. It's so important to give yourself some down time both at the shop and back in the office.
Technology is great these days because we have the flexibility to be anywhere and still be communicating with our clients - but it is also a potential problem. I know when I finish at the shop, pick the kids up at school, and go home (where the office is set up), the first thing I do is check the emails. Then, I get caught up with whatever work is waiting for me from that day. I also tend to check the emails a couple of times on the week-end, even if I am not suppose to be working.
So, I guess to remind others, as much as myself I am writing this. Even during the busiest times of the year it is important to always have times when family comes before our pending list of emails, and we give ourselves a bit of time to smell the roses.
