They existed when you were working. And the still exist now. Those lazy days when you just don’t feel like doing anything. Here’s the difference though. When you were working, you couldn’t – or wouldn’t – allow yourself a lazy day. Now that you’re not, there’s nothing standing in your way. Lazy days are somewhat…
Hopefully you’ve been able to establish a rhythm to your day. You’ve figured out what needs to be done on a daily basis, what needs to be done every couple of days. How each of your days will and need to play out. And you have also figured out that you have some free time…
Maybe we try to fool ourselves into thinking we only need to do those nasty projects that always exist in our lives once a year by calling them spring cleaning. The reality is, they exist in every season, and all the time. And they don’t always take the form of cleaning. Think about it. You…
