Forcing myself to take a vacation
So I pretty much stink at taking vacations. Given that I work my day job and my internet job I am always working. So when I would take a week off at my day job, I would just use that as an opportunity to work a full week on my internet job. On the whole it has been a good thing for me to work on my internet job while I am on vacation from my day job, but sometimes you just need a break. Quite frankly its hard for me to take a vacation from my internet job for more then a day or two tops.
Two weeks ago I took a 6 day vacation from my day job. I worked one day in the middle of the six days, but forced myself to take the other days off. The biggest challenge was not doing anything for my business and not letting myself think or plan for it. It is really tough to not let myself even think about it. That is what i had to do though. I needed a break, or I was going to lose it. I forced myself to play games lol. Some people may think thats not tough, but I am almost addicted to business, so it was tough for me. All told I came out refreshed and I will be more productive now.
