The joy of 3-day weekends…
OK, so I made a big decision this week. I decided to cut down my hours to a 4-day work week instead of 5. It’s a big decision because I know the budget will be tight . . . and with a little one at home, that’s not something to take lightly. But I truly believe that if you don’t take those baby steps to get where you want to go, you’ll never realize your potential to do amazing things with your life. So, I will accept the cut in salary and adjust my budget accordingly.
The greatest thing about making every weekend a three-day weekend is that I’ll now be able to do all the necessary weekend chores on Friday. And the rest of the weekend I can devote solely to my family.
What is your current situation? How is your stress level? Are flexible working arrangements possible? Maybe you can at least find some way to make a very slight adjustment and allow yourself some extra time to devote to the things you love most. Remember, this is YOUR life!
