Go Anywhere – Just Go Away
I was informed today that starting in October, I will be back playing hockey once a week. This was not prompted by myself, but by my wife, who suggested that having taken 2 years off from playing, it’s about time I get back on the ice.
No, this isn’t about me having a sedentary lifestyle (though I don’t exercise nearly as much as I should). Nor was it about the fact that I don’t spend much time hanging out with friends anymore.
It was about the fact that I work too much.
That’s not to say I’m a workaholic, but rather that significant portions of my day are occupied with work. If I’m home for the evening, chances are I’ll spend most of it in front of the computer finishing off projects for clients, writing proposals, or doing work-related research. My life revolves around my work, even when I’m not actually working. If I get together with other people, sooner or later the conversation moves to work.
This isn’t particularly good for anyone, and hence the return to the arena. A casual game in which conversations are limited, time relaxing afterward, mostly talking about the game, anything but work. Plus, I get in a good amount of exercise that evening, which gets the week off to a good start.
How about you? Do you find your life is revolving around work too much? What are you doing to take your mind off your growing business?
