Joy is back!

Some much needed time off is what the doctor ordered. The holidays couldn’t have come at a better time for me and others at Secfi. It’s been a long 6 months and I know a lot of people are burnt out from the pandemic and work.

I’ve been off a little less than a week and have only done a bit of clean up work and follow-ups. I am starting to feel refreshed again.

That feeling of excitement when I start thinking about work and new initiatives has started to come back. It was sorely missed the last month or so. The joy of building a company is coming back.

I know going forward that I can’t let myself get to the point of burn out again. The pandemic and lack of vacation options didn’t help, but I have no one else to blame for it except myself.

I vow to make 2021 a bit different. There will be more time off and focusing on personal needs. There will be less email checking at all hours of the day. There will be more delegation and focusing on high value tasks.

For the next week, I’m planning on doing some light touch work in the mornings followed by lots of reading, golfing and relaxing. I’m also going to do a whole lot of nothing and love every minute of it.
