Life Is a Game Where the One Who Works the Most Hours DOESN'T Necessarily Win
I've been feeling the strain of working too much lately, trying to force my business growth to move at the speed I want. But as I say in the title, the one who works the most hours doesn't necessarily win.
I've started blocking off certain times as work-free zones. No more turning on the computer to do "just a few quick things" as my wife is getting ready for bed. Blocking off ALL of Sunday for family. I feel a certain amount of withdrawal, but it needed to be done.
It means that certain things, like the short e-report I was going to offer as a bonus to the ebook that my copywriting tips are featured in, is now officially off the table. But I'd rather take a little more time and make sure the report is everything I want it to be than rush it out there before it's ready.
But the hours needed to be put on a limit. What's the point of making a good living if you're doing it at the expense of making a good life?
