Take the next two days off!

On Friday evening right before an employer of mine would leave, he would turn to me and say ?why don?t you take the next two days off.? Nice huh? Yeah he was a jokester.

It turns out this advice is very sound. Whether you work a 9 to 5, Monday through Friday job, swing shift or freelance you need to make sure you take time off! We all need days off.

If you are reading this blog, I?m guessing you are a workaholic always looking to learn more, grow more and do more. Is this true about you? If yes, then you don't really work 9 to 5 or whatever your set hours are. You work an extra hour or more a day. Maybe, you go home and work more on your own business, blogs or family matters. Whatever your endeavors may be you need to make sure you take time for yourself.

This is especially true if you run your own business, are a freelance worker, or work from home individual. We took the opportunity to our own boss so we could make our own schedule. The problem is we often forget that. Instead, we spend 20 hours a day working and less time off. We need the same day or two off that would be given if you were employee.

In order to stay healthy you need to take of yourself. Taking time off from your job is an important part of staying healthy. If you can relax (do non related work activities) for a day or two each week you will find that your work week will be less stressful and more productive.

Now that we?ve had this little chat, ?why don? you take the next two days off!?
