I thought this was very smart advice when I thought it was written today, then I saw it was written on Friday. Even better advice!

The office was really nice and quiet today, though.

Thanks, Jared. Always been an organized freak. Good thing… bad thing. Most freelancers have to be disciplined or else they starve or not make a decent living.

I’m glad you’ve got a great handle on time management, Meryl! Distracted people like me could use a little more of your discipline!

I thought something was wrong with me… because I rarely worked overtime… but I worked 7am to 4pm with nary a lunch break. Once in a while I’d run an errand. Usually, I ate at my desk since I didn’t want to go out.

But maybe I got things done and faster than most. For one thing, I didn’t have to deal with a bunch of phone calls… few people want to bother calling someone who’s deaf through the relay.

I must’ve done something right because I have my own business and it’s going well. If I were lazy or a clockwatcher, I’d think my one-person business wouldn’t go well.

Bob, poor guy was missing the point. There are always going to be golden handcuffs in our lives. The key is to recognize that they’re still handcuffs.

Elizabeth, you bring up a good point–without a seemingly “justifiable” reason to leave it’s hard to. But the reason should always be ourSELVES. We get caught up in the treadmill of work that we forget how nice it really is to relax for a moment.

Thank you both for the comments!
