I am going on almost four years being a published author. As each day passes by I realize that I am quite possibly a workaholic. I always, always have to be doing something that is growing my business. I do, however take time out to be with my kids, but even then half the time I have a notebook with me or my camera and I’m thinking about work.
Here’s the thing, sometimes you just have to know when to take a break. I don’t mean like a ten minute break. I mean at least a day. Authors and others who work from home tend to work all the time instead of just set hours and it becomes some strange habit to always have to be working. So, if you are feeling stressed, tired all the time, and grouchy. Just take a day off, that IS one of the perks of working from home you guys.
For me, the grouchiness, gets horrible, I mean, like … really bad. Usually I feel better after taking a day off to read and veg out or going and doing stuff outside with my kids or even alone. Take a break and do what’s best for yourself.
