Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – Labor Day

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know I have a “do nothing day” each week on Sunday. I also take Holidays and do the same thing from time-to-time. Why? It’s nice to have a single rebellious day where I delete my daily schedule, check off all of to-do items without doing them, and just do whatever the heck I want to. It’s a nice break. It is also a great way to allow a little freedom into what would normally be a very tedious schedule.
So, for those of you who celebrate Labor Day today. Take the day off. Put your projects to the side, turn off your calendar reminders, and just do whatever the heck you want to. Enjoy the day. Be spontaneous. Anything that is away from your daily routine to allow yourself some downtime and satisfy the rebel in you.
Happy Labor Day, folks!
Until next time…

My brother and his gal took off yesterday afternoon from the airport. What a great time we had while he was here. They hung out with my sister for a few days, went to the beach, went out to some of our favorite haunts here (Ted’s Coney Island, Raven Coffee House, Freighters). They also got to watch some shows. They are huge fans of Locke and Key on Netflix. I have not watched it yet, but have it tagged on my watch list.
Tomorrow I’ll get back to my normal writing schedule. It was a nice week off!
Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – Happy 4th of July!

4th of July, family, Friends, Hobbies, Independence Day, Leisure time, motivation, Relax, Time off, vacation
For those of my readers who live in the United States, Happy 4th! I hope you have a great time with friends and family. My wife went windsurfing in Arizona, my sister is out with her friend on her boat, and the folks and I are enjoying the air conditioning. Today, is another do nothing day for me, other than my blogging, and some other critical items.
Why should we take a vacation? Why should we take a day off? Because, regardless of how in shape we are, focused we are, or disciplined we are, we need time off. We need to do something we enjoy. We need to rest. We need some time when we are engaged with what we enjoy doing, without guilt. We also need something to compare our work days with.
The mind can only identify with opposites. Sleep and awake, dark and light, loud and quiet. The same thing occurs when we consider work and play. Without work or a purpose in your life, your leisure time would not be as special. The same goes for leisure time. If you don’t relax and take your mind off of the pressures at work, you won’t be as productive. Work and leisure go hand-in-hand. They need one another.
This is the first two days in a row I’ve relaxed and tossed my schedule in the basket this year. I need to do this more often. When I take a few days off now and then, I’m raring to get back to my book writing, my non-profit position, and all the other things I focus on during my “work” days.
This leads me right back to hobbies. You need one or more of them. Hobbies give you something to look forward to. A good social network is also necessary, so you can share your time with friends. It’s really nice to meet a friend for lunch on the weekend or sit down and chat over a cup of coffee. Then there’s the night life. I’m not a drinker, but for those of you who do, go out to the clubs, dance, meet new people, enjoy yourself.
If you work hard, the leisure time feels terrific. If you do your leisure right, you’ll be anxious to get back to work after a holiday or a few days off.
Well, that’s it for today, folks. I almost blew this off, but got the nudge to put this up so you could see the importance of time off and how it can actually give you the motivation to go back to work when your weekend, holiday, or vacation is over with.
Until next time…
