Does it sometimes feel that everything is getting too much?

Does it feel as if you just cannot find solutions for your problems?

Sometimes you have to schedule time alone for you to think. You must do this without TV, radio, music or anybody around you.

Schedule at least 10 minutes per day when you take time to think. You will be amazed how much more organized each day will be.

When you don’t have distractions, you really do think more freely and creatively.  And that is important.  So why not schedule yourself some quiet reflection time today?

Besides taking time off each day to think, you should also make time each week to relax and spend time with your family.

At a time in my life I was working real hard on my Internet business. I spent each day until 1 or 2 in the mornings working. I also worked over weekends and did hardly anything else than working. The strange things was that it felt as if I got nowhere.

I then attended a seminar one weekend and the person told us that we must take time off. This was a seminar for business owners teaching us how to improve our businesses. One of the speakers told us to take time off . He said that a business owner must take off every Friday and do something they enjoy.

Although I could never take off Fridays I first stopped working on Sundays and spent the whole day just doing nothing. You do not use time to plan your business, you are not allowed to do anything business related. After the second weekend of taking off Sundays I suddenly realised that the following week I were much more effective in what I do. Then I took of Satruday afternoons. Again I found that I was more productive the next week. Finally I took off the whole of Saterday and Sunday and today I evenstopped working at 12h00 on Fridays.

I then cut my working hours and stopped working after 23h00 at night. This made a huge difference.

Although I was now working far less hours, I got more work done than before.

You NEED time off. You cannot function optimal when you are tired, overworked and stressed. You will be much more productive when you take time off.

TAKE TIME OFF, you deserve it!
