What happens if I turn one of the other two directions? |
There
are a few options. I could go to the range. I could run some overdue errands. I
could spend the time in the apartment cleaning or organizing. I could sit at my
computer, get ahead on work, catch up on a few lodge tasks, and write a few blogs
for future use. There is also a research article that I have to get done for
the fall. Nothing seems to be jumping out at me at the moment. I know that my
wife will be productive today but I have no motivation to get that much done.
Maybe I should just let the day play out and not set an agenda for this rare
time away from the office.
On
the other hand, I might want to get things together now as this is the first of
four consecutive weeks when I will have short weeks. That’s right from this
week until the week of the 4th of July, I will be working four days
a week. Sounds like a great way to start the summer but if things continue as
they are starting off today it may not be as nice as it sounds. I have to find
a way to fill my days and be productive but also have the time off be relaxing
as well.
The
other issue I have with taking time off is that I have a check list constantly
running through my mind of things that need to get done as soon as I get back
to the office. I am also thinking of the possibilities of things that may come
up that someone else will have to handle since I am not at my desk and,
potentially, not at my computer today. And, no surprise, I am constantly trying
to think about things that I may have possibly forgotten about yesterday that I
should have gotten done before the long weekend began.
So,
I guess I am going to have to work today as it is going to take some
significant effort to calm my mind and focus on the day in from of me. I am
going to just let the day play out and pretty much do what I want to do. All of
this while staying out of my wife’s way so that she can get everything done
that she needs to focus on. Will it be a successful day, I don’t know but I am
going to try and see how things go. This might help though...
