Sometimes it seems important to take a break. For the past few months I have been working hard to move a lot of projects forward, and somehow that became a seven day per week occupation. Things seemed to move forward, but how slowly they seemed to move and how little real enthusiasm I had.

Last weekend my wife decided that she was going to take a day off, and I thought that would be a good idea too. We had a great day, and lots of odds and ends around the house mysteriously got done.

After a break I seem to have a lot more energy, and I wonder how I could have been suckered into believing that the notion of 24/7 work is really productive or healthy.
