Turning Over a New Leaf

Well, trying to anyway. I still haven’t hired a new marketing manager, but with my boss back, I’m trying to start changing my habits. For example, on Monday, instead of staying late to finish my spreadsheet, I brought it home with me. I didn’t work on it at all, but I got home earlier than usual. I had to rush to get it done by 10 am on Tuesday, but I pulled it off. So perhaps it takes little time for the whole new leaf thing to really start working.

My 2nd attempt is coming up – I’m taking Friday off. I’ve been exhausted, uncreative and unfocused all week and I think I need a day to recharge before my next big project gets busy next week. Of course, that means I have five, yes, five, pieces of copy to write tomorrow since I won’t be in on Friday, but in the end I think it will be worth it. I shall sleep in and laze about, dispensing belly rubs for Mr. Seamus and maybe reading a book. I will not clean anything. Maybe I will go check out the gym I’ve been meaning to join so I can take yoga classes again. If the weather is nice, John and I can take Seamus to the park for a hike. It’ll be great! I’ll get the hang of this new leaf deal yet.
