You speak of rewarding ourselves with downtime, but I'd counter we can't afford to do without it. Taking time to stop all the action for just five or ten minutes to meditate, exercise, do some deep breathing, or listen to some relaxing music is crucial for stamina. That regeneration of mind and body allows for better worklife integration. Thinking that every minute counts (which it does, I suppose in a 24/7 marketplace) we mistakenly believe that making the time for downtime is only acceptable as a reward after reaching a goal or completing the work for the day. Recharging our batteries should be embraced fully in our information age. The mind is on overload and in fueling the core fire that we operate from on a deeper level, we extend our ability to go the distance. All the best, You're an inspiration, Judy Hello Leo,

It worked a bit but I found that I was still procrastinating. To remedy this I am putting together some spreadsheets with to-do's for each of my sites so I know what must get done.
