The office is switching systems for bookkeeping, and that means everything needs to be checked, double checked and transferred. So it\u2019s times like these when I must take my own advice.<\/p>\n<p>Little holidays are so essential in a busy routine, and yet, if you\u2019re anything like me, it\u2019s almost too easy to ignore that side of a balance work ethic. When a job demands my attention, I get all charged up and focus on reaching my goals, meeting those deadlines, finishing that task.<\/p>\n<p>But isn\u2019t it exhausting? Don\u2019t<a title=\"stop straining at your desk\" href=\"http:\/\/ergonomics.about.com\/od\/eyestrain\/tp\/eyestrainprev.htm\" target=\"_blank\"> you feel exhausted<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>I feel exhausted. And that\u2019s because sometimes I forget that when it comes to tackling a project \u2013 all work and no play makes Marcelle (me, and probably you too) exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>Today I will take my own advice and try to get my life-work-balance in order. And if you can empathize with what I\u2019ve been writing, I suggest you do this too.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of my favourite little holiday ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to place that I love, like my backyard. That\u2019s my world away from the world, and hopefully you have one too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit the water. Tony and I are great fans of the river, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve gathered that Tony is an active fisher man. When we take to the water we leave our business, our projects, our everything behind. Is there an activity that does that for you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a walk, particularly at sunset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Watch an episode of NCSI, or LOST, or 24 . Television can make zombies of us all, but in small doses it can also help reduce the processing that our mind insists upon when we\u2019re bang in the middle of a project.\u00a0 What\u2019s your favourite television show?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So there\u2019s my list. What\u2019s yours? I\u2019m always looking for ideas on how to decompress, and getting responses would be a good reminded that \u2013 yes \u2013 it is time for a break.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading. I hope this \u2018little holiday\u2019 from your work has been worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>To your success!<\/p>\n<p>Dr Marcelle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/awakeningpotentials.com\/ultimate-wakeup\/need-a-little-holiday\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/static.guim.co.uk\/sys-images\/Books\/Pix\/pictures\/2009\/1\/23\/1232726630863\/Reading-a-book-001.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"142\" align=\"left\"><\/a>I\u2019ve been working like a mad woman lately.
