Happy Monday!

It’s a hot and humid day here in Central Ontario, and supposed to rain and thunderstorm all afternoon. I’m off to the chiropractor in a bit here, and I’m just hoping it all holds off until I get there and back!

I had a quiet weekend, with a trip to the bookstore and no golf but it was good to take a break from work for a couple of days and just relax. Now I’m ready and motivated to dive into this week and really get some things done.

Taking time off was something I never used to do, but I’m trying to be more intentional about when I work and when I relax and do other things. So for today’s read, I have a few tips for you on being intentional about time off.

Today’s Read: Tips for Intentionally Taking Time Off

One of the best things you can do for yourself and for your business is to take a break from it every once in awhile. Not only do you need those breaks – and it’s so easy to say ‘no, I have to keep working’ – for physical reasons, but you also need the mental break to allow yourself time for fresh ideas to percolate and come to the surface. Because a business without fresh ideas gets really stale really quickly, and a business owner that doesn’t take breaks gets burnt out very quickly as well.

Here are a few tips to help you more easily take breaks and treat yourself even with a busy schedule:

Tip #1 – Add your breaks to your schedule

Add short breaks, vacation, and essential appointments for self-care to your schedule and clear a spot for them first. Then don’t let yourself to skip them.

Tip #2 – Commit to at least one day off a week

Practice self-discipline and do absolutely no work during your day off to reap the fullest benefits. Don’t use this time for chores or planning your next business moves. Rest and commit to activities make you happy.

Tip #3 – Don’t feel guilty for taking time for yourself

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being more selfish in life when protecting your mental and physical health. Stop feeling guilty for your purchases or days where you do absolutely nothing and recognize their benefits.

Tip #4 – Build good time management habits

Simply put, the more time you have, the easier it is to take a day off. Find the right habits that allow you to get ahead or maximize your productivity in the shortest amount of time possible. A 90-day action plan and working in block schedules are great ideas and areas to start.

And now, here are today’s deals…
