Remember to Rest
February 11, 2006 at 10:24 am | In Preparing to Buy Property | 3 CommentsUs workaholics have great difficulty with flicking the switch and turning ourselves off.
This is almost as bad as doing nothing. You cannot win by working continously.
One needs to take time off, to think about what we have done and then to start again.
I have oftentimes seen that people are so busy “doing things” that they completely forget about “thinking” and “strategising”.
If I had been given the task of cutting down a huge tree in 3 days, I’d spend 2 days sharpening my axe.
How much time do you take off to sharpen your axe?
It is vital for you to step back regularly; to look at your work, to evaluate it, to strategise and only then, to continue with it. All great artists step back from their work, look at it, sum it up and only then do they continue with their artwork.
Do yourselves a favour, have a beautiful weekend. You owe it to your business!
Even the gut in a bow (of bow & arrow) is relaxed when it is not being used, otherwise it will snap.
Humans snap too!
Go well, Cheers.
