Sometimes, especially if you work from home, the line blurs
between working and relaxing. There is
no time clock, so the days can be long (or short – shame on you). No boss keeping track of your time and one
eye always on meeting that next deadline.
I’m very guilty when it comes to my time management. I enjoy working in large chunks of time. Bursts if you will. I’ve been known to work for 30 hours or so
before I collapse in a puddle. But that
works for me.
The only times I actually do the relaxation thing is 1- on
vacation and 2-days of jubilee. By
vacation I don’t mean the trips I take with my family. Those are vacations with a lowercase v. I’m talking a selfish vacation all by
myself. Be it a trip to see a friend or
a cruise around the Caribbean, the time is mine to do with what I please. As for days of jubilee . . .
Every single time I finish a project I take several days and
do nothing. I mean stay in my PJs like a
root veggie. I turn on the TV and start
zoning out to some of my favorite shows.
My taste is very eclectic. I’ll
have various episodes of Chopped mixed in with Counting Cars and Antiques
Roadshow. Thank God for DVRs.
Once I have my fix of TV, I turn to reading. I don’t read while I’m working so I save up a
stash of TBRs. When I read for pleasure
and relaxation, I read true crime, preferably with pictures. Every now and again I read fiction, but normally
it will be something recommended, or it could be something burning up the charts
that has me curious.
So how do you refuel?
