This is a great post and something that's been on my mind a lot lately. One thing that also helps me is cutting out the distraction. Who cares if you don't go to all the cool kid parties or outings. Sometimes you just need to turn off Twitter and focus. I also like to exercise in a group--going on a bike ride with friends not only reinvigorates you and keeps your body/mind healthy but it's social.

Love this reminder to keep our priorities in order for our own sanity and for the health of our bottom line!

I know how big a difference those moments of pausing can make in allowing you to not only go on, but re-energizing your efforts on the 'work' front.

Cheers,
Erik

Sometimes, it's the paradox that makes the most sense (if you want friends, don't care so much what people think, etc.)... I loved this post, Micah. And it came at a great time. Thanks.

Great advice. I know I find myself piling work on top of work on top of work. It is not sustainable and my focus shifts to how much work there is. I find changing location is one of the best ways to refocus.
