I only have errand days. There's always something on my To-do-List, no matter how free a day is supposed to be. At least when I'm at home. When I'm off for vacation, that's a different story. But I can't take vacation at home. It just doesn't work, well, it does too much, it doesn't rest.
I started to cover fun things in my to-do-list. Things that I usually don't give myself the time to do, that are for me, and just me. Eating out. Playing a few songs on the guitar and sing to them. Read a few pages. Doesn't mean that I don't enjoy work, I do love my job, and I like to cross things off my list.
On thing about hive is that I can see it a little bit like a work thing, due to those little numbers in the right corner of each article I write. That plays a neat trick to my workaholic mind - it's not only fun, it's also work. So, it's easier to take the time.
