I will be taking a break for the next week. My only goal is to make time slow down, if just for a few days. I’ll be back on August 23rd. I encourage you to browse through the archives for this site or go to some of my favorite sites listed under “On The Links”.
Am I going away? Nope. Just hanging out at home. Will I be checking in? Nope. I’ll be playing some golf (surprise!), hanging around home with my wife, bumming around Nashville, enjoying our new porch, and just resting.
There is a great article at StartupJournal that illustrates just how important such time off can be.
One of the benefits of life in academics is that it has natural rhythms. At the end of every term I turn in my grades, finally get my desk cleaned off, tidy up all those e-mails, and catch up on any loose ends. Then, if I am smart, I can get away for a week or two. I do have my share of e-mails, voice mails, and snail mail when I return, but it’s not too bad as the students also get away.
When you have a chance to take a break–do it. Make time slow down. See you on the 23rd.
