When i received email with stuff in like "she's rarely had a holiday in the passed 20 years", it really does make me doubt some people in "the industry", I doubt the world would fall apart if many people took a 2 week holiday every year, so i find it very odd that this woman hasn't. Is she really the only person who can do that job? More shocking ST seems to thing this words would encourage me to go running head first into a graphic design studio saying " take advantage of me i'll work for free for a month, it would be an honour to be in your presence!" I don't want to be defined by my job, I don't think my job should ever be the most important thing in my life and I don't want it to be. I am a hard worker, but as the saying goes "No one ever says on there deathbed, 'I wish i'd spent more time in the office.' Life is out there." I think some people forget that.
also just remembered this on noisy decent graphics, which i think co insides nicey.
Habit 7: Take Lots of Time Off: Principles of a Balanced Life
There was an article in The Economist a while back about how the best US presidents worked the least hours. (Bush used to to take loads of holidays, but he increased his tally by always working very long days.) Obama doesn't start work until the kids have gone to school.
As I've mentioned many times before the reason successful people can do more stuff is exactly the reason they are successful. They are better at getting stuff done. They make the best use of their time. They don't waste a minute. They know that an hour off is as important as an hour working. Successful people go on holiday. You should do that.
