Jay focuses his work-related mini-vacations on the flyfishing industry, corporations, and architectural and environmental design. I focus on exploring other expressions of creativity, environmental issues, photography, gardening, and the development of seminars and workshops. Fortunately we share interest and enthusiasm in all these areas and enjoy the times when we can take a work-related mini-vacation together. Continuing education. Meetings with colleagues and friends. Time alone. These mini-vacation give us experiences that will renew our energies as leaders in our chosen field, profession, or industry. They help us better understand the rhythm and pace of our work. They also helps us understand rhythm and pace of our personalities so   that we don't become frustrated, burned out, or immobilized in our work. We think we can go for close to twenty-four hours a day without stopping. And sometimes we try. That kind of schedule is not healthy for us, for our relationships, for our business. Combining work with rest and pleasure gives us new perspectives on our path in business and life itself. We put tremendous pressure on ourselves each day. And we try to carve out certain times when we allow ourselves to have fun and renewal. However, when we have to make choices between business and those personal hours, personal hours are the ones that usually suffer. < previous - next >
