Tough Question Tuesday How do you make the most of your slow time - When I Grow Up

Tough Question Tuesday How do you make the most of your slow time - When I Grow Up slow down greeting card by Jack Ella Paper Press I stopped coaching on May 22nd, a day before my Fresh Boobs surgery, and I dont coach again until June 25th. I knew this would be a trying, exhuausting, painful time for me in more ways than one. Yes, the physical stuff was a given recovering from a Boobal Removal aint fun but as someone used to being independent and nearly always working, I knew that Slowing Down would prove difficult. So, howd I make the most of it? By treating myself to a MacBook Air and working on the bed/couch when I was up to it. Limiting myself to working only a couple of hours a day, when I felt up to it. No pushing. Sleeping as late as I wanted, and taking a nap (power or otherwise) whenever necessary. Accepting help. Groceries. Back scratches. Laundry dishes washed. Meal tickets. Company. Watching the rest of Friday Night Lights streaming on Netflix. Sobbing during the last episode. Then, when I started feeling like myself, I worked my way up slowly to email my web designer, asking for a website refresh and brainstorming the changes. I scheduled my 4th Annual Scholarship (applications open on July 2nd!) and my next round of Operations (Sept 4th!). I moved over to a new project management system and loaded it to the gills. I created my content calendar for July. I booked my trip to Portland for the World Domination Summit (yes, Im going!). I rewrote copy to relaunch a product based on what wasnt working (and what is). And I promise I wasnt working more than a handful of hours a day. Its also worth noting that I took long walks. I played my uke. I watched Law Order: SVU (a lot). I Skyped with friends. I hung out with my man. I asked my Clubhousers how they make the most of their slow timeand heres what they had to say: You know my Clubhousers are hustlers since so many of em responded, What slow time?! Thats how ya know youre always thinkin and workin and doin. Now I wanna know in the comments: How do you make the most of a slow time?
