Day 314 of 1827: O Hai

Phew. I give myself permission to take a break from my blog and focus on my work…

… and the next thing I know, it’s been almost a month, and everybody’s worried that I’m lying in a ditch somewhere.

Well. I am very probably certain that the latter is not true.

But I have been in “work mode” for the last few weeks, and a lot of other areas of my life have unfortunately been neglected as a result.

I would say I’ve been burning the candle from both ends… but that’s ridiculous — there’s two more perfectly good ends to burn if you chop the candle in half!

And I wonder why I’ve been getting sick lately.

A lot of people talk about establishing a “work-life” balance, annnnnnd… they’re probably right. For most people, anyway.

If you’ve got a 9-to-5 job, or you’ve reached a point in your life where you have more important things to spend time on than your career, then I can totally understand that being 100% focused on your work is probably not the best thing for you.

But when you’re launching a new freelancing business, making a name for yourself, and you want to travel to Mexico, buy a motorcycle and get your skydiving certification by the end of the year…

Well, you’ve gotta make a few sacrifices.

Unfortunately, this post is just to let you know I’m still alive. I gotta go back into heads-down @#$%-kicking mode again, so I’m going to be a little sparse on the blogging for a little while longer.

There’s some cool stuff coming though — and don’t think I’m not planning on making it up to you for being away for so long (:
