On this day, I broke one of my own rules… and I’m so glad I did.
For years, I’ve believed you work first… and play later.
So that’s exactly what I’ve done.
Until today.
I stepped away from my workday for just two hours to golf.
The emails were still there.
The phone calls were still waiting.
But after spending a little time outside, something shifted.
I came back with a clearer mind, more energy, and honestly… probably accomplished more than I would have if I’d stayed glued to my desk.
It made me wonder why it took me so many years to give myself permission to pause.
Maybe productivity isn’t always about doing more.
Maybe sometimes it’s about creating space to think, breathe, and appreciate the season you’re in.
Summer is short.
The work will still be there.
💬 Do you ever give yourself permission to step away during the day, or are you like I used to be—always waiting until the work is done?
