Confronting
Maintaining a weblog was fun I thought, a nice channel to express your experiences and let the world have an idea of what you are busy with. But it appears to be also very confronting: it tells you when you are (behaving yourselve?) too busy! Before you know it, about two weeks have passed. And again, what a few weeks those were...Potential clients asking for a lot of attention, current clients reaching project deadlines, employees are taking their spring-vacation, discussions on internal product development and on top of that you try to execute some billable hours yourselve at important projects.
All keeping you up late, keeping you busy during the day and keeping the "up-time" at more and more stressful levels...
Yesterday we had a bank holiday in The Netherlands (we got a new King and Queen!), I was at a celebration where one of my friends, entrepreneur as well, kept on checking his iPhone to see what his abroad susidiaries where doing. As a person, you tend to take over that habit imediately, so I was handling mine pretty soon... Fortunately I ran into the attached picture-perfect-moment that same evening: a staring contest with a pigeon in my garden, that seemed to tell me "just enjoy this sunset now...".
...Pigeons are wise, able to confront me the same way my Blogger-account does. For the rest of the week, my time is vacation time! Taking the down-time to compensate for the rushes of up-time required at the moment, reading a book and doing some study, playing with my daughter and...who knows, run into some pigeons again;-)
