Time Off

I get asked a lot about time off and how I manage to take so much of it to play.

Many years ago one of my mentors taught me thatrepparttar 104217 human body is like a multi-billion dollar racehorse. If you owned that horse, how much time off would you give it in between races?

The answer seems simple enough, but somehow we get caught up inrepparttar 104218 stress of day-to-day life and we forget to rest. And I mean really rest!

I know that putting in 18-hour days is not uncommon for me because I love what I do. I am sure that you also just go, go, go...allrepparttar 104219 time between work, parenting, friends, exercise, problems, etc.

One ofrepparttar 104220 best practices that I took on many years ago is what I call my six weeks on, one week off routines. Here's how it goes...I play full out for six weeks, then full off for one week.

This gives merepparttar 104221 chance to really unwind and do zip, nada, nothing. I get a chance to totally rejuvenate, and what I've found is that I am so ready to get back to creation once I am truly rested, that I am ten times more productive.

I used to feel that if "I just push a little longer, I'll get more done", butrepparttar 104222 truth is thatrepparttar 104223 quality of my work was not up to my highest standard.
