A Lazy Friday

Friday, November 16th, 2007  |  Tom Carmony

Despite the best of intentions, sometimes you’re just not as productive as you’d like to be. The key, aside from not finding yourself in that position too often, is to learn to accept it when you do.

This afternoon was the perfect example.

While I had a very clear, well-planned agenda for things I needed to get done today, by the time lunch had passed, I found myself unfocused and struggling with the tasks at hand. Perhaps it was the culmination of a long week of project work, a lack of sleep (to which any new parent can attest), the ever-present Friday afternoon distraction of Layer Tennis, or the fact that a seemingly large scale anti-war protest materialized outside the office this afternoon (complete with hovering news helicopters). Or some combination of all of the above. Either way, I wasn’t getting a damn thing done past 1pm today, and once I accepted that fact, my tension dissipated.

Sometimes a little goofing off is the perfect way to recharge your batteries.

BTW, props to Aaron Draplin for doing the Pacific Northwest proud in this week’s Layer Tennis showdown.
