One Week Free

I had one week free of work. That means obviously my normal work, but as well my MBA studies. What happened during that time?

- I wasn't really relaxed.

• I didn't really know what to do. I wasn't bored. It was more like: I should have used the time better.
• I didn't understand how to focus on me and my needs (body & soul needs)

and:

- I had time for myself. Even not knowing what would be best I did what I wanted to do.

• I had time to waste without thinking what I should do.
• My partner showed me all her love by not demanding anything.

What can I learn from this experiment?

- It takes time to calm down.

• It's not easy to fill time if you hardly had any time before.

• It's good to discuss your situation with somebody who cares.

• My body needs some action. The trip to the Cotswolds was great.

Implications for next time?

- Expect less

• Go away, so you can't do anything and you don't even realise that you don't have anything meaningful to do. But do it like my friend Nick. 2 weeks Disneyland. There is hardly anything to do.

• Have a good book.

• Book stores are always great.

• Enjoy the small things in life.
• Do some physical exercises: walking, cycling, swimming, running.
