I know I said I’ll post once a day. And I am. But sometimes a night off is good. A night away. To clear your head. I’ve been writing a lot lately. In the workshop I’m doing and on my blog. It feels good. I’m doing what I set out to do and starting...

Should you use that time with someone else? Might be worth considering the next time before you fire off that email, make that call, have that chat. And definitely don’t use all caps. 😉...
