Recently Sheryl Sandberg, of Facebook, stated that she leaves work at 5:30 everyday. I believe we need more high ranking people to talk like this. It’s become all-to-common for people to burn the midnight oil and frown upon those who relish their downtime or slow days.
Today, I am having a slower day and I am quite grateful for it. When you work hard every day, you are entitled to a slow day now and again. As I build my company, I will stay focused on the reality that life is about more than work, and much like relationships, distance can make the heart grow fonder.
I’m still handling my business today but the ebb and flow of business has allowed me to take today a little more slowly, and with a day like this outside, I’m glad I have the good sense to appreciate that.
