Take Time to Reenergize

The meeting in Austin had a good start with several excellent presenters, lots of dialogue, and an evening social at a Speakeasy.  But I was tired, and realized I needed some self-time to reenergize, so I didn’t attend the social.  Tony Schwartz, in his book “The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working, builds a strong case for how after only 90 minutes of high-intense work, our bodies begin to shut down, and our thinking becomes more reactive than reflective.  That evening, I took a walk, watched the sun go down, ate a relaxing supper in a small diner, and sat on the back porch of the B&B with the back porch cat purring on my lap.  How will you use self-time today?
