It is very important to
remember that most people need to take time for themselves.
Sometimes this time can be easily achieved, while other times it may
need to be schedule. When I say scheduled, I mean booked so
that something else cannot take that time away from you.
I have booked
sometime in my calendar occasionally to ensure I have time for me.
It can be a challenge sometimes to take some time to
recharge the personal battery. In some cases, the taking time can be
a half an hour here and there, while other times it can be a few hours
or even a few days.
For me, taking time for
myself has meant taking a bit of sleep time away so that I could have
some quite time to myself. I can find that I want to write late at
night, and I need to do it then sometimes. If I don't get the
thoughts written down, I don't sleep, so I might as well get up and get
the thoughts onto paper.
Taking time for
yourself, is very important to ensure you are there to help others
and even do your own job. Remember, when time starts to go crazy,
book a little “me time” for yourself.
Taking some R&R occasionally is such a good time that many organizations mandate it for their people. As some time management people say, its about "sharpening the saw"
