Achieve WHY More...Just By Doing Less

This week I have probably spent only about two hours actually sitting at my desk working.

Not because I was trying to be clever...but because my body finally called 'time' on my efforts at pushing my comfort zones!

Well...OK...the 'flu-type bug that I have had almost non-stop for a few weeks finally came to a head...and completely knocked me out for a few days.

Which was a GOOD thing.

Why?

Well...I probably needed the break away from working and creating for a while.

And...at the exact same time that I 'gave in' to feeling unwell instead of trying to carry on regardless...I began to feel better.

Once I had stopped fighting...everything became clearer.

So...I've spent the last few days lounging on the sofa reading, catching up on videos with Lesley...and generally letting the world of work get on without me.

Which, surprisingly perhaps...empowered me even more than before.

Why?

Well...as I'm writing this...I've been back at my desk for almost two hours - yet I KNOW that I probably accomplished as much *important* 'work' in the fifteen minute bursts I allowed myself for each of the last few days!

So...even though I am certainly feeling much better than I have done for a number of weeks...I'm going to continue with this 'experiment'.

So...in comes more 'quality' family time - out goes some of juggling that goes with trying to accomplish a number of often very different things at the same time!

In other words...it's back to basics...and the source of why I do what I do.

I do what I do because I want to ENJOY what I do...at the same time as enjoying LIFE.

Sometimes it can be difficult to remain focused on things as important as this when you are striving to make the most of what you've got.

Until the Universe pops up and reminds you WHY!
