Take More Time for Yourself

My New Year’s resolution is about living a more balanced life without diminishing my professional success. One of the advantages of being your own boss is that you can decide to modify your work schedule to fit your lifestyle. And this is exactly what my husband and I decided to do this winter.

We both enjoy skiing. For years, my mother in law told us that the best ski often happens on Fridays. There is no wait at the chair lifts and the slope conditions are awesome because they are prepared for the weekend. This year, we took the plunge and bought a Friday ski pass. We will work on Sunday afternoons instead.

With all the snow that felt lately, we would be crazy not to take advantage of the natural snow. Adding luxury to your life is not only about buying expensive things. It is also about taking the time to enjoy life at its fullest. Try to take more time to do the things you love the most in 2010. With creative planning, you may be able to do it without neglecting your work and other obligations.
