Time, Gentlemen, Please!

I suffer from not knowing when to call time on my day.

I work late in to the night.

I regularly pull all nighters.

I regularly work around the clock, seven days a week.

And if I believed that I could find an eighth day in the week or a 25th hour in the day, I’d work that too.

It is a failing of mine. On those days when I have “quit” and called time I find myself to be more productive, more creative, and produce better quality work, the next day.

I’m not just talking about myself. I know you do it too.

The one skill I need to learn, and so do you, is when to say “enough.” We put down our tools, and walk away for the day.

Go release some energy in an idle pursuit.
