Sitting at my computer
Posted 30th October 2007 at 20:55 by Simon Donnelly
Long time, no write.
Here I was sitting at my computer today wishing that I was out in the incredibly warm Autumn sunshine. So why didn't I go out into it? All that work was beckoning - preparing for meetings later in the week, research to persuade people, sorting out what I'm going to say on cold calls and so on. And then there's the pressure to satisfy myself that I'm actually doing all the right things and not wasting my time. Now I'm sitting here in the evening in front of my computer listening to a webinar on business startups! What am I doing?
One of the incoming calls today was a request for coaching. You'd think that all the alarm bells would have rung then as one of things I coach on is work/life balance, but no...
Now I'm feeling a bit drained, vaguely unsatisfied and regretting not taking that delightful walk to capture all the fabulous colours with my camera. Ah, well - there's always tomorrow... Except it will be the same then.
So, what's the solution? Diary time? Just down tools and go? Really make the effort? I know that I'll feel so much better if I just get up and take the time to relax a little and will be so much more productive.
My plan for tomorrow is to get out for at least half an hour. What I would really appreciate is if someone would check to make sure I did it by replying to this blog late tomorrow afternoon. If I haven't done it, I shall present my rear end for a good (virtual) kick.
Aaah! Feeling better already.
