I can remember I time I used to come home and work on work that I didn’t finish for the day. I would work so much that I would fail to plan time for myself. Often times I felt so overworked that I would be completely exhausted, always complaining about what it was I had to do and when I had to do it and how I never had downtime for myself.
Downtime for myself. Time for myself.
That was the resounding request that I had but never made moves to actually achieve it. That is, until one day where I said “work is work and should be done at work and when I am at home I need to be at home”. I had to stop my mind from wandering back to work so that I could enjoy time with my loved ones or even time for myself. Efficient people understand the power of downtime and use it to their advantage. Overworked people are a liability – they can crash at anytime due to lack of rest and recuperation (I know this because I was one of those people).
Are there times when I get ideas for work? Sure. Are their times where I work on work? Absolutely. But guess what? Today wasn’t one of those days…
Thank God for schedules and working within them. Thank God for downtime.
I work efficiently with the time that I have designated for work.
