Hello! I’m Back! Been Taking Some Time Off From Work
Hi. If you regularly subscribe to this blog, you may have wondered whether I’ve fallen off th edge of the planet - but I’m still here! Two weeks ago I realised I had gotten very tired and run down, so I decided to take some time off from work and do something completely different.
No - not sunning my self in the Bahamas or taking a cruise - and not even sitting on the beach on Southend - I decided to clear some clutter in my house and enjoy the sun in my own back garden!
When you run a business at home, it can be easy to fall into the trap of running yourself into the ground. Now, don’t get me wrong - I have a very big work ethic and I believe in pushing yourself quite hard sometimes to achieve your dreams, but sometimes things can get a bit on top of you, and whether you can afford it or not, you need a break. But if a proper holiday is out of the question, just doing something different can clear out the cobwebs and get you back on track.
Clearing the clutter in your house has an amazing effect on the brain too. You find that your head clears, ideas come to you - and so do opportunities.
I actually got back to my desk on Monday, but the reason I haven’t posted is because I had a lot of sorting out to do and a re-evaluation of my life coaching business. More on that in a later post, but the point is that a short break of doing something completely different gave my brain the space to come up with some new things.
So, if you are feeling tired and overwhelmed by your business, take some time off from work and clear some clutter - it really works! There are some book ideas below this post.

Hi Ros, this is very inspirational and I’m glad to see you back - I was gettting worried about you.
About cleaning messes: I used to be in a local mentoring group here and one of our monthly goals was always to clean up a mess somewhere. It really works, in fact, too many messes will block your path to wealth.

Hi Ros;
I totally agree that we really need to take some time off once in a while. I feel I get overwhelmed with too much clutter so it does help when things are decluttered around us. Great post.
