Closing the quarter

It’s almost 80 degrees here today in San Francisco. We don’t get a typical summer here in the SF, but this short heat wave has got me in the summer mood. It’s nice to be able to wear shorts and a t-shirt to the office.

I’ve got 3 weeks until my trip to Maine and Spain and I’m already counting down the days. I’m feeling especially rejuvenated after our offsite to Chicago last week, but it’s pretty telling that I feel like a new person after taking some time off. A couple weeks away from a laptop after closing out a monster quarter is exactly what I needed.

In the meantime, we’ve got a lot to do to close out the quarter strong. We’ve already hit our major goals, but have a lot of smaller goals that we’re lacking behind. Perhaps more importantly, I’m going to need to spend a lot of my time these next few weeks recruiting.

In the past, I’ve found it relatively easy to slack off a bit during summer especially in a quarter when things have gone well and goals have been hit early. However, these are incredibly valuable weeks to get everything on track so we can have yet another great quarter ahead.
