Take a Break Take a Holiday...

...all this talk about work - oops creative activity - makes me think about holidays.

You know last year I took a one week break in May then worked through to Christmas non-stop. Result: declining performance. Well I did know I'd be away in January for a month. But none the less things were not going as well as they should.

So January came and I took that well earned break. Result: I came back with renewed vigour. Things moved on much better and much quicker.

So for the remainder of this year I've promised myself that I'll take a break every twelve weeks or so. Just so I can keep fresh.

The other thing I noticed about taking a break is that I forgot all the detail. All that remained in my mind was my overall goals and vision. That was there at the back of my mind quietly resurfacing above all the daily clatter of detail.

So... Easters here... have a great mini-break and give your brain that well earned rest. Just putting in ever more hours to achieve your goals can be non-productive.

It's quality effort that counts. And you can't put that in if your brain needs a good rest and de-frag.

Have a great Easter.
