R&R - practicing what I preach

18 June 2009

I encourage my clients (and Declutter Happy Hour participants) to be sure and take breaks and build in rewards when they’re working hard (on clutter or anything else).

I’ve had a busy few weeks and I’m ready for some rest and relaxation. And lucky for me, I’m getting some! Tomorrow I have an all-day strategic planning retreat for the board of NAPO St. Louis, of which I’m president. I expect to be pretty tired out after that.

But that’s okay because Saturday morning, I’m hopping in a mini-van with five girlfriends and we’re driving north to a resort community on Lake Michigan, the summer home of one of the friend’s parents. These are women I get together with monthly to do crafts. (And some I see some of them more frequently than that.)

So the plan is to hang out, enjoy some sun (with sunscreen of course) and water, eat, drink, and do crafts. (I’ll be working on knitting projects.) We return on Tuesday via Chicago and a visit to some fabric stores and, perhaps, the mecca known as IKEA.

Doesn’t that sound nice? I think it’s really important to build in some down time, especially for those of us who own businesses we’re passionate about.

So I probably won’t be blogging again until Wednesday. Have a great week!
