i agree~so many people do not make time for themselves, yet expect to be there for others (family, friends, clients etc).

i regularly go through my home to refine my minimilist style;this extends to my spending habits as well.

what u use every day (accessories) should be special. i luv op shops 4 the character 2nd hand items have, and i get to contribute to recycling

sometimes i just hop on a cheap bus trip to a regional town nd spend the day on the beach or in the forest.

tho a night at the cinema or beers after a gallery scope are also enjoyable and rewarding.

Hi George,
Great post! I should take your advise! I think I’ve been working too hard and not playing enough.

George, you have done a wonderful job of separating that gray line between work and living life. In these days, people should make every effort possible to increase their quality of living and disconnect from the gadgets for a little while. I crocheted today. The first time in 7 months and it felt great!

Hey George, great example of balance. My husband and I were talking about our summer of all work and no play. We rode our motorcycles twice! We were of the mindset that everything has to be a big production. We are trying to simplify our life to allow us to stop and smell the roses. I’ll certainly show him your post. Thanks.

Matt, thanks for this great opportunity.

@James: I want that for you too!

@Rod: True, before you know it, twenty long years have slipped away and we’re left with a shell.

I find it amazing at how much people manage to stack on their plate when the goal is to ultimately have more time for life friends and family. We, as business owners, need to constantly work to increase the value of the tasks we perform and learn not to increase the amount of time we work.

lorem ipsum – Sacrifice pleasures for the gain of greater pleasure, endure pain to avoid greater pain. Sounds like a nasty loop eh? I hope to cash out sooner than later so I could find that balance!!
