Comments on: Update: 10 Hour Work Week Still Working for Me http://startupprincess.com/update-10-hour-work-week-still-working-for-me/ Thu, 24 May 2012 14:03:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: startupprincess http://startupprincess.com/update-10-hour-work-week-still-working-for-me/comment-page-1/#comment-3808 startupprincess Tue, 27 Nov 2007 04:14:01 +0000 http://startupprincess.com/wordpress/update-10-hour-work-week-still-working-for-me/#comment-3808 Thanks for the visit today...I was thinking about how difficult it is to draw the line of what is work and what isn't work. For me, "work" is Startup Princess, but the "work" I do as mom, wife, church nursery teacher, life-long student, etc. is endless. Really, how do you "stop" working completely? If an idea comes to me about something I want to implement or do for Startup Princess but it's not official "work time" or if it's beyond my "hours", I don't shut if off and tell the thought to go away, I write it down and keep it for when I'm ready to move forward with it. Plus when I was at the beach recently on vacation I thought about the cafe on the pier and wondered how difficult it was for them to get a license to set up shop there 20 years ago and I thought to myself, why am I thinking about this now? I'm building a sandcastle! Just the way life goes...when you're passionate about something it's integrated in every part of your life. And even if I AIM for 10 hours a week and it becomes 15, well, then at least it's not 50 when I was AIMING for 35! ;) Thanks for the visit today…I was thinking about how difficult it is to draw the line of what is work and what isn’t work.

Why is e-mail so tempting and hard to get away from? I did not check e-mail at all Monday morning, and this crazy thing happened- life still went on. I sat down at four when my husband got home and answered all of them in one shot, taking far less time than when I try to keep up with them one or two at a time during the day. It is so hard to NOT check it all day, though. I wholeheartedly agree! Why is e-mail so tempting and hard to get away from?

WRONG! focussed, set aside spots of time are so much more productive. Thanks Kelly!
