Getting out of the rut

How many of us work so hard for long periods and then suddenly feel that we can't go on working like that anymore?

Our brains go from overdrive to a standstill!

There is no immediate cure except for a good old fashion thing call REST!

Make sure you rest and go AWAY from what you have been doing for the past two or three months or weeks. Set your eyes on something different.

Go to the beach, off the mobile phone. Bring the kids for a short cruise or holiday...

It might take you two days, three days or even a week! But it is all for the better, why?

Because, remember that you have and are going to work those long hours. Remember, being self employed means working harder than the ordinary employee.

But your yield on the hour goes much much higher. So, it is okay to just take off and relax and come back even stronger. Monotony will make you unproductive.

In economics we call it the law of diminishing returns.

So, off your mobile, turn off your internet connections, stop looking at your emails...and see you in a few!
