- It’s Friday (the day of posting this is anyway).
- The longer you spend at work, the lower you income is (on a per hour basis).
- So you can spend more time with your family.
- So you can do a good deed for the day.
- So you can go and get some fresh air.
- Meet with friends and laugh.
- What you’re doing will probably wait until tomorrow or Monday anyway.
- So you can do your chores before the weekend, instead of ON the weekend.
- Because life is to short to work late.
- So you can just sit, do nothing and relax for a bit.
- To prove you are in control of your time.
And from my tweet peeps:
- astrout @Lifestyle_Proj I would sit down and play a game of Spit (card game) with my two oldest kids…
- edwardharran @Lifestyle_Proj Meditate
- IainBrady @Lifestyle_Proj I would spend it with my 2 day old
- cfavreau @Lifestyle_Proj After recovering from the shock, I’d have 2 consciously make efforts 4 “me time”—bath, read, go 2 my fave bookstore, etc…
What about you? What would you do? Let me know in the comments!
