Slippery slope?
Despite my recent post re: working on the weekends - I find myself doing just that!
Seems I should be slapping my own wrist, hehe.
In my own defense, I made a decision a few months ago that if I wanted to complete my book I would have to allow myself to do some writing on the weekends. For the simple fact that between client work and family time I didn’t have the time to write during the week (unless I wanted to stay up really late - no thanks!)
And so since June i’ve been working on my book pretty much every Saturday and maybe the odd Sunday here and there. And i’m happy to say that my book is off to the designer and will be published by the end of the month. Yay!
This would not have happened if I hadn’t allowed myself to write on the weekends. My book would still be in my brain instead of on it’s way to paperback.
And now I find that I actually enjoy working on the weekends - gasp! Even though my book is done, I find that the weekends are my best time to get creative/new projects underway. It feels like the ideas just start flowing on the weekends, and with my husband home I can actually sneak in a few dedicated FOCUS hours during the afternoons - without kids or clients bugging me. 
Am I starting down a slippery slope to working all the time (again)? Doesn’t feel that way quite yet, although I do need to keep an eye on myself I suppose.
I guess the thing is that I truly enjoy my work. Especially now that i’ve put my life’s work down on paper in my book Becoming an Online Business Manager. I LOVE what I do (which is why I wrote the book) and now I feel like there is so much more I can do to help others do the same. It’s fun stuff and doesn’t feel like work to me at all.
I’ll do my best to keep myself in integrity here - so long as my creative weekend work time doesn’t get in the way of family/fun time on the weekends I think all is well. Now, time to really unplug for the day!
