@Chris Cairns – I agree. Got a week off myself next week and I can’t wait!

That’s probably the best way (other than outsourcing) to hit your peak productivity and effectiveness — take some time off.

@Schizo – thanks for your comments. Yep, I’m planning on improving the header image at some point. Just got to learn a bit of PHP!

@Donna – Thanks. Go on then.

@Cristina – Well done for scheduling this rest and relaxation day, and actually sticking to it! Thanks.

If I had to choose just one of these points as my favorite (glad I don’t have to), it would be point #1. It’s taken me years to realize that if I’m in “fake productive mode” — that is, frantically doing busywork (aka nothing) — something’s going on and it’s time to sit back and evaluate what’s going on.

I’ve also recently scheduled an entire day to rest & relaxation. That is NO work, NO computer, NO calls, NO reading business books or anything. The entire say is devoted to my family and me time… While it’s really hard to resist the urge to “just take a few minutes to read my email” the payoff has been incredible. My kids are happier and my hubby is super proud that I’m actually sticking to it.

Thanks for your awesome insights, as usual…

And congrats on the new design!!
