John,
Every so often, I do need a reminder.

True, Cass....
I aim to take time for myself though. No use missing out on all that's good because I'm slaving too hard.

HG, you bad girl you....
Not a good thing that, bringing work home with you. That's a recipe for having all your free time eaten up.

Well, sometimes we have to sacrifice the things we enjoy doing just for a little bit. Its good to be busy though - rather than have nothing to do.

The trick is to make your fun your work
I have a friend who works sixteen hours a day and makes 7 figures. He says, "I don't do work, I do fun." If you can't do that, Word, please take time for your self. Personal time for fun. Okay?

I know exactly how you feel. I'm glued to this darn computer, but that's just because I bring stinnkin work home with me every day! I'm finding less and less time for things that I enjoy. It's good to see you around!

Hi.. Take the time for yourself and you'll feel more like doing the other things that need to be done. I am reminding myself of this, as I type. Take Care!

Hey genius,
I know what you mean by slowing down and coming to a dead stop. I have to find a happy medium. It's no fun trying to kill myself.

I've always found that
when I'm under pressure to get a lot of work done, the best thing to do is just stay the course until it's done. Or you can find a place to take a breather. If i stop, it's all over.

word.smith, If you don't take time to have fun in life, even your son will be effected by the strain.
