After an enjoyable Holiday weekend, I enjoy getting back to work.

Don’t get me wrong, I really unplugged over the Thanksgiving weekend, and didn’t so much as check email during family and friends time. It was a rare occasion, indeed.

But there’s always something thrilling, for me, in helping people define their goals, go after them, achieve them, and make money from home or with something they love doing. Or the thrill of the creation. Or sewing a tapestry of words, or code, together and making something that other people enjoy. It’s got all of the elements that I love about creating live productions, just without the applause.

I had a moment, several times over the course of the weekend, however, where I remembered something that I still had to do for a business coaching or web design client. And normally, my M.O. would be to drop family/social/recharge time and get the thing done.

But this weekend, I talked myself out of it every time. And while it may make the productivity experts cringe – I firmly believe that knowing when to unplug, unwind and recharge is key to keeping creativity, and productivity rolling.
