It’s almost here, the best week of the year – vacation!
And you are in hyper-speed! You have finished the laundry, packed the car, and made travel plans and reservations. You are ready to take off!
What about your business? Have you been the supernatural speed queen in your office, too? It’s amazing how many phone calls, mailings, emails, and more happen in the last 48 hours before you leave for vacation. Have you ever been like me and wished you could create that same momentum the other 50 weeks of the year?
The adrenaline rush speeds up our energy from knowing that we have a deadline we are excited to meet. Who would ever want to miss vacation because they weren’t ready to go? Creating some exciting deadlines regularly helps build that same sense of momentum. What do you love to do? Who do you love to spend time with? Take a few minutes with a pen and paper to create a list of people, places, and things that excite you. Create your ‘summer bucket list.’
Pull out your calendar and begin to schedule some of your favorite things. Once you start looking at your calendar and seeing lots of great things to look forward to, you will find that you are eager to complete your ‘tasks’ to have fun. Spending time doing what we love fills our energy resources, and we become happier people. Suddenly the chores of life become more manageable, and our focus becomes more apparent. Knowing that some of these fun things require money can also be a great motivator to work your business harder!
As you begin adding more fun to your life, pay attention to the rhythm that keeps you moving consistently. How many scheduled activities create momentum? Do too many create stress and make you too busy? Life creates a harmonious blend of work, fun, priorities, and rest.
