In a variety of social media, it’s fascinating to see how many people talk about having taken the weekend “off” and gone completely offline – even more fascinating is how every one of them then goes on to explain how refreshing and wonderful it was.
As a micro-business owner, the bulk of the responsibilities (if not all) fall to you and therefore it’s very often hard to take a break because of the fear that something will fall through the cracks or a great opportunity will be missed. While it’s easy to feel this way, stepping away from the business (and your computer) will most likely assist you in your efficiency because every person’s brain and spirit needs a break.
While I will not stop thinking about my business entirely, I have decided to close my shop as well as go offline until late August. It’s time to enjoy all that Summer in California has to offer as well as use this downtime to let my brain wander and see what happens.
I wish everyone a great rest of the Summer and look forward to our discussions when I return.

You are wise.
