I think it helped that I had the past two weeks to readjusting to not working. Sure, I was busy but I used the time for pleasure rather than work. What really sold me is how much energy I had. Give it a shot, you'll love it! Melissa, I’m still in week one but I must say it’s going fairly well. I think it helped that I had the past two weeks to readjusting to not working.

I've always thought four days a week, six hours a day would be just perfect. The problem is I seem to be somewhat of a workaholic, so I would probably just create more work for myself and call it play ;) A four day work week sounds pretty good to me!

I had a long list of critical tasks today and I was done by 1:30! I focused on one thing at a time, without distraction and blew through my list with ease. Kept going even when I hit a creative roadblock - normally I'd switch away but knew that I had committed to start and finish before moving on so I worked through it. @Hi Roland! You may hear a bit more about ME, Inc as the year progresses...not in an "oh gosh shut up about yourself already" way but you know from time to time with learnings that can help others. :-) @Brad, howdy Brad! So far, so good and I look forward to sharing with everyone at month end how it's going thus far. Today was EXCELLENT! :-) @Joanna, with you showing me how to write audaciously I'm certain to have a perfect start for a great year! :-) @Ulla, hello dear Ulla! It's really hard to juggle isn't it? Today I had to really fight to guard my time, but it was worth it because here I am at 3 pm stress free and able to visit. :-) I wish you all the best this year too. @Janice, it is going to be a fun year! Isn't it amazing how so many of us are really moving in the same direction. I love it because I feed off of you all and get inspired, it's also much more fun than going it alone. I wish the best for you this year too. Yes, I saw the lovely boat, I'd love to see how you would render that in paint. :-) Hello and Happy New Year everyone!

I am trying to separate work and fun - doing my feed reading, commenting and blogging at home after work, instead of trying to squeeze it between, always with a bad conscience I wish you all the best for your plans for 2009!.
