Time off

I’ve been writing a lot about taking time off and work-life balance. A lot of this is due to the pandemic where boundaries are down and seemingly everyone is working more. Another part of it is that I’m constantly trying to learn how to better balance work and life.

I’ve been hearing that “you don’t realize how much you needed a break until after you take a break”. It’s coming up a lot with my colleagues and even my clients.

Our leadership team at Secfi gave the team Friday and Monday off. It was a much needed break. A lot of us have been feeling burnt out and I thought it was a much needed break just about 1 year into the pandemic.

Personally, I felt great and even started to get excited about getting back to work on Monday evening but it was obvious that I really needed a vacation. I spoke to Fred our CEO earlier today to catch up after the break and we both agreed that I need to take more time off.

It’s great to work for a company that is supportive of work-life balance. I’m looking forward to more time off in the next coming month, but in the meantime I’ve got a hugely busy week ahead. Time to get back to it.
