YOU may need to take a BREAK

View attachment 118767

Don't underestimate the power of taking time to do NOTHING.

Whether you take an hour per day or a day a week, mentally retreating from work and/or people is scientifically shown to be beneficial.

Alone time allows one to focus on their thoughts that would otherwise be cluttered by the common distractions that accompany our busy lives (we need time to clear our minds).

Solitude sparks creativity and increases productivity.

I challenge you to take 20 minutes out of your day, put your phone down, step away from the computer, and write down just a few of your goals and aspirations.
It's healthy to remind yourself of why you work as hard as you do. :)

Very clever. Getting us to stop working so you can reap the benefits. ;)

(joking)
 
Very true. I come up with some of my best ideas when I take a break. I think of it like allow my brain time to do its job.

Well, guess I'll just take a break from ALLLLLLL those pending marketplace threads. :smirk:

Marketplace sellers begin to panic, mass hysteria ensues. Fires start everywhere, the BHW apocalypse begins.

.. good morning, talking about marketplace threads.. what are the top 2 or 3 mistakes new marketplace posters do (the ones who read the rules and terms)? .. will be posting one (my 1st one) soon. tx

That's nice you're thinking of creating your first marketplace thread!
  1. Not reading the marketplace content standards. About 1 in 4 marketplace sellers end up missing the marketplace content standards.
  2. Arguing during any point of the review process. Some sellers try to change the review process even though there are some things we can't change about it (e.g., you must provide your top level package). The ways sellers have tried to argue are quite varied, but some of the more common arguments are in regards to unquantifiable claims in their sales thread, which they usually try to deflect by providing a list of other sellers they believe to be in violation of the same standard.
  3. Responding to their own sales thread. Responding to your own sales thread before a marketplace moderator picks it up can cause your thread to fall through the cracks because it'll look like a moderator has picked it up.
If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to answer any of them. :)

Sometimes it's so hard to switch off. I guess when you're at the beginning of your career you just don't want to miss any opportunity to grow your business. Thank god I have a caring woman by my side that makes sure I get to switch off and recharge in order to be more productive.

I hear you on that.

I know the feeling of never wanting to miss out on an opportunity. We must understand though that downtime is paramount to mental health and growth (and this applies to business).
 
I really feel I should make Saturday Sunday ie 24x2 full Holiday and should relax mind and body.
Sometimes, I feel I am destroying body and family too.
I go crazy about job and money and then I become impatient.

Yes, that's the purpose of this post.

This is why it's of immense importance to find BALANCE as without it you WILL go crazy.

For me, anyway, receding from work, friends, and even writing is how I maintain my aptitude.
 
Every Friday after my day job I take a few hours and go to a local park with a view and just sit down with a paper and pencil and write my thoughts. I've made some life-changing decisions at that park. Let me see if I find a picture.

Every opportunity to remind you that just like every other person out there, you are only just a human being.

YOU are NOT just like EVERY other person though. You need to think of yourself as becoming the best and achieving the best while realizing that you will NOT be like most people that become complacent in life.
