businessboomer…ahh!

All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.

I sometimes envy those people who have routines. My days are barely the same, and I often long to find a more consistent schedule that fits my idiosyncrasies. Perhaps this is why I’m an entrepreneur. I can’t (A) work under someone else and (B) be told when to work. Because sometimes, I want to burn the midnight oil. Is it because I haven’t grown out of my college habits? I used to think that…but it’s been five years since I’ve graduated, and I still like working through the night.

If you’re a business owner and feel the same way — holla — and leave a comment. During the day, I deal with conference calls and client meetings. And when it comes to getting stuff done, nighttime is best for me. But of course, I’m tired all day the next day. All of my overachieving friends always say, “You can sleep when you die.”

But all work and no play makes BusinessBoomer a dull girl. Well, sometimes work is play for me. I barely go out just to go out. There has to be some sort of purpose — an ROI for why I’m trading in valuable work time for some socializing.

Come to think about it…I always think ROI. What’s my ROI in spending some time with you? JK. Well, maybe I am a little serious here…because when you’ve got ADD and juggle multiple projects like I do, the next best thing to being organized and on a schedule is knowing what, and whom, to prioritize.
