For two years now, I have not had a real weekend. By “real weekend” I mean a weekend where I just don’t have to do anything but kick around the house or go see a movie or whatever. I’m not asking for pity, it’s been my choice. I’ve been super busy developing Perk at Work and BURRITO Magazine as well as many other projects. It’s been fun and wild but I think I’m starting to get a bit burnt out.

I’m looking forward to the next year and developing my plans. One of my plans is to get my weekends back. To do this I will need to restructure my work schedule, put some projects on the back burner, and focus – easier said than done. I’m addicted to my projects and I can’t stand to see them sitting in the corner not being worked on. So I revisit them and, in doing such, I sometimes lose focus and time.

I’m slowly learning how important it is to focus my efforts. As they say, “You can do anything you want, you just can’t do everything you want.” This is ringing true, but I’m getting better.

My goal is to have my weekends reclaimed by the first day of spring 2011. I have my goal, now it’s time to work toward it. The irony of working toward not working is not lost on me. But isn’t that what we’re all working toward?
