There is a saying that 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', and this might have some truth in it. Since I started my business, I have been working most days of every month. I have only recently had a few days off, due to my Sis getting a car, and being able to help me out.
I think that maybe we place too much importance on 'being a busy person', as though it is a status symbol. Perhaps it ought to be the other way around, and people who say they are busy should be treated as if they are fools for wasting their lives.
