I get cranky
when I spend too much time
working to make
other people’s dreams come true
(i.e. usually on a business contract)
and not enough time
making my own dreams come true.
So I take a day off.
When I worked full time,
it would be a sick day.
Now, I take an unpaid day.
One of my buddies
tries to work through it.
She ends up snapping at people,
walking away from projects
at the worst times,
and
otherwise f**kin’ up.
She damages relationships
and projects
by not seeing to her own needs first.
If you’re an entrepreneur
raising money by working for someone else,
manage your entrepreneurial impulses.
There’s no shame
in taking a (planned for) day off
to indulge in business building.
Take time for you.
