Entrepreneurial Life Away From the Computer
When was the last time you sat and enjoyed a sunset or anything else that had nothing to do with your entrepreneurial pursuits? An Entrepreneur doesn’t live by the computer alone. I did have a time when I had my laptop set up in the living room and I worked, ate, and a few too many times, slept on my ever so comfy couch. That got old fast, even though I was getting a lot done. I did get burnt out and started accomplishing less and less.
I finally have had some time away from the computer and one of the things I returned to is taking pictures again. It is hard to resist the beautiful sunsets during the Arizona monsoons. Other pictures I have been taking:
- My daughter and her horse
- The kids swimming
- My boys paintball shooting
- Friends at the bar I’ve gone dancing at
- The rain
- Storm clouds rolling
Some other things I’ve done when I’ve gotten away from the computer:
- Time with kids
- I went on a couple motorcycle rides
- Been out dancing with friends
- Watch my daughter ride (sometimes I have the computer)
- Dinner with friends and family
- Found a church I really like
- Been to a few movies with my kids
- Ran regularly until the humidity got to be too much
- Dated a little
- House cleaning
- Yard work
When you look over your list of things you have done away from the computer, how does your list look? Keeping a balanced life will keep you from burning yourself out and accomplishing less or even worse…nothing!
