Making a Living while Making a Life
I’m diverting just a bit this morning from posting more information about Carbon Copy Pro, because I came across a great article on the site of The Wealthy Blogger . I connected with this, as it reminds us to take a breath and regenerate….
A quote from the article…..
….."From experience, I can attest to the importance of making it a regular habit to set aside at least 24 hours each and every week to personal relaxation away from work. You might get more done at first if you don’t take this break - but in the long run, you will find yourself in a rut, discouraged, and possibly even having forgotten how to enjoy life! Is that what you are working for? In the long run, you’ll likely achieve more when you take regular breaks from your work and learn to work hard and then play hard.
If you don’t take regular breaks, you may end up forgetting what it is exactly you are working for. You may lose sight of your major values. Of course, taking too many breaks when you can’t afford it or should be working can have similar effects as well.
When you start out working towards goal achievement, you likely will spend long hard hours at your work. Sacrificing leisure time especially at the beginning will likely be a requirement in order to achieve any goal that you have set for yourself. Giving up a few hours in the evening of TV in order to move yourself ahead will probably be a sacrifice you will need to make if you want to achieve goals in the future of being financially independent and doing many of the activities you’re watching others do while you watch TV."
To read the complete article, please click here ….. it will be worth your while.
Also, please leave a comment on how you like to regenerate and refresh your spirit. 
Until next time, J.

Being a single mom, working a full time job and building a business, it’s so easy to fall into the gotta work, gotta work, gotta work obsession.
But if you don’t take the time to spend with family and friends, you’ll soon find yourself alone. That would be an awful high price to pay for your success, wouldn’t it?
Learn to do things as efficiently as possible - and make use of a daily ‘to-do’ list. You’ll be amazed at how organized you can get just using good old pen and paper.
And giving up TV is probably one of the best things you can do in your life. You can either watch other people living, or you can turn the box off and get up and live. How many more hours of life would that give you?
We haven’t had TV for a few years now. Really. Life is much better without it.
