A Personal Day

It used to be a common thing for me to miss a day of blogging. But as most of you have noticed I have been updating this blog quite frequently. The main reason for this is because I consider blogging “work” now. This week has been hell for me, mainly because some how I got on a bad schedule again! And why is it when you sleep more you feel more tired? Anyways because I didn’t want to get completely depressed and unmotivated I took a “personal day”.

A personal day to me is a day where I don’t do any work and just relax. That’s what yesterday was. I spent most of the day watching TV and relaxing. I really tried to not think about work and it was very relieving. Everyday I have something to do with one of my sites. There is always something I can do whether its posting news, tweaking, etc . I was barely on my computer yesterday; I didn’t update any of my sites or even post news on them. Because of that I won’t make as much money today, but I would rather be happy and motivated than make a few extra dollars.

When you continually work things become repetitive and you get frustrated very easily. That’s why most people have weekends off. They take that time to just relax and not think about work. I rarely give myself days off, because missing news or not posting a review essentially costs me money and I loose traffic. But when I get frustrated with work I just need a day to relax and not think about work. Yesterday was a perfect day for that and now I’m motivated to get this weeks work done!

    You can program “resume of the week” or “what happend this week” or “In case you miss it recap of the week” on/for your day off.

    Making a list of what you accomplished boost one ego ( if it don’t it should ) and it link to thing some of us might have missed. Its a bit like training or exercising yourself to get in shape you need to find a way that make it fun for you.

    1$ Breakfeast? Ikea is Swedish and I can go to one by just turning around. The owner of Ikea is a billionaire but does he offer 1$ breakfest in Sweden? NO!

    There are a few things I miss from US, and one of them is cheap food.

    Yes this is offtopic but still :)

    maybe im a workaholic, but I cant stand to just sit around all day. I like to be doing something all the time. But I do manage to sit back and play halo a lot hehe

    Apparantly you get your breakfast for free in the UK if you turn up in your pyjamas at Ikea. I never would try that though.

    We all need some time off for work detachment. I’ve been so busy with work myself that I have been neglecting my blog.

    I took a personal day yesterday too but it was because I drank more than any human should Saturday night and couldn’t really move.

    Personal days make the difference between success and no success, in my opinion. If you don’t allow your mind a breather, you’ll go into overload and won’t preform well at all.

    I love when I take days off and do what ever I please. Between school and trying to get good grades and trying to start a business, everything gets pretty hectic. There are those days when everything is going wrong and I just want to punch a hole in the wall, and where my mouse locks up every second and I have to keep unplug/replug it back into my motherboard (that gets annoying).

    When you start generating enough income, you should just hire someone to do the work for you :p.
