A Small Change in Pace

This weekend I am going to try something new. Something that I should do more often but for some reason I haven’t. I am making it a goal until Monday. I am going to stick with it and hope that it gives me what I am looking for.

I am going to unplug for Saturday – Monday morning.  I am going to stop all notifications on my phone. I am not going to check page views, comments, email or twitter. I am going to avoid the internet for all work/blog related things.

unplug.

I need to regroup. I need to focus on my family – on myself. I am slowly creeping into blogger burn out and to avoid that this is what I need to do.  I love my work, I love engaging with all of you and getting your feedback, getting to know you and being available to answer questions. I love it but that is why I need to take a very mini-vacation from it all.

I have a weird fear that if I am not available I will miss out on something or that I will not respond quick enough to someone’s question or call for help/information. I don’t like that feeling but in order for me to be able to do that – I need to focus on me sometimes too, right?

Especially now with a kidney stone that is not letting up – rest that needs to be recouped and the danger time of the month for me is creeping up.  So, if you need me I will be back again Monday morning – until then … have a great weekend!
