3 Day Work Week

I'm not sure where it came from but as I did my monthly taking stock and prioritizing "3 Day Work Week" arrived and sat like a taxi cab parked in my consciousness. It honked it's horn to declare it's arrival but only once, not in an obnoxious way. I pulled back the net curtain to look to see who was honking. Hmm "3 Day Work Week" is here I thought to myself and nodded; before I knew it I was sitting in the 3 day work week taxi looking out of the window and enjoying the view.

I started yesterday and it felt delicious. I love to work, I love tinkering with my web site like a car enthusiast on a Sunday morning, I love writing articles and of course I love speaking and working with clients. All this love has made me sloppy and unfocused. With an abundance of time and no boundaries I have been coming from the mentality that there is time to do everything that I want. Every new idea has a place but at the cost of success.

In a recent networking event the speaker shared a success formula which I have tweaked slightly and made it my own

Passion + Vision + Consistent Action = Star Performer/Successful Business

By creating boundaries around my time with the three day work week I think I will be accelerating my ride to Star Performer.

I am already noticing a difference. In a three hour block between clients yesterday I banged out a whole bunch of projects which I would have indulged in before for a lot longer. The boundaries of the 3 day work week keep me simple, focused and stop me from over complicating things which if you've read Creativity Versus Perfectionism you will know is my gift and my challenge. I am also looking forward to four days off which will renew, refresh and re-calibrate me ready for the next 3 day work week.
