Days Off
One of the problems with working from home is that it’s hard to take time off. My computer is always here, obviously, so whenever I get some free time, I always feel that I should be working. This could mean blogging, writing or answering e-mails, networking, looking for more writing gigs, or whatever. As a result, I often end up working up to 10 hours per day, seven days per week. This is a recipe for burnout, if you ask me!
So what I’m going to try to do is give myself at least one day off every week, a day where I don’t do any computer work at all. Right now, either Friday or Saturday seems to be a good choice, so I’m going to aim for unplugging on at least one of those days next week (and beyond).
This should be a good move and hopefully will help keep me sane!
