Master GabrielThis is now my sixth week post working for another. To say I am thoroughly enjoying myself is an understatement...but business and personal life is now more blurred than ever. My new mission is to try and seperate them.
When you work 9-5 (gosh - I used to love that movie!) it's completely structured. You work your hours - no overtime, if you're lucky - and then leave to resume your private life. I have found working on Retro Age to be almost a 24/7 gig - not physically, but definitely mentally. I am finding I am thinking of Retro Age work way too much and I don't find that healthy at all. I need mental time off...mental time away....which is hard when it's your business and you have the responsibility of managing it...
So that is why I have decided to adhere to our operating hours - we are now officially open from 8.30am-4pm, Monday to Friday. I have website changes coming this week so I'll update everything then...
Phew. I am so glad I have given myself hours to work and then to play...it's a relief...and I am sure it will be for the boys, as well...
Good for you Ness! Down time is definitely needed/required for mental and physical health. Your family will appreciate it as will you. Monique xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Monique - I seem to forget about the down time in life, but you really do need it, don't you? I haven't checked your subscription details yet, either - will do that today...
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day!
