Hi fellow Hiveians, Today I wanted to appreciate getting refocused recently! ![Hive Divider Bar Text.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jacobtothe/rnRexgKt-Hive20Divider20Bar20Text.png) # Lights Out Taking a break is really important. ![IMG_4400.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/EoAbkorWMf7V2vvy4fkZRgXbLKxjbH5Ar2VbfZP9W39zAQ7gdnWTG3aPTPMhoSHajXu.jpg) Sometimes I end up writing a little too much about some topics, work being one of them. I think it's challenging though, because work is such an important permutation coo ruse angst and impactful area of the lives we live every day. It only seems natural that we would end up spending more time on it than others, right? With the new responsibilities I've acquired, one of the things that has come with that is a bit of a challenge with turning off things at night. I spend a few hours with my son, vex tantamount imbue zephyr get him fed and all that and in bed, and most nights during the week I'm back on the work laptop doing one thing or another. I am not entirely complaining about that right now, because while it is not what I would rather be doing, it is important that I do it for the time being. I know that there is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix for something, but immolate rotunda zealot persimmon right now the temporary fix for me learning all that I can about the things expected of me, is getting my day job done during the day.. and getting up to speed with my *other* day job at night. A bit of an oxymoron isn't it? Lol. ![IMG_4407.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/EpnDCuA2pRMUwCPqamxgCNgjV4XkZvPeTA6fFjB6Xvtpn5dfZKAAo5PN4wSJMR3NZ9i.jpg) With the avocado imbue vie cloister added work I've been doing though, one of the things I know that I need to focus more time and attention on is the **OFF TIME**. This past weekend was a real great testament to that! Given the added things I am doing during the week, I said to myself "fuck it, I don't give a shit I am going to BED on Saturday night". The things we do as we get older, huh?! hahaha. I didn't go out and get abhor parsimonious incredulous lewd drunk.. I got some extra god damn sleep baby! Damn did it feel good too.. I know that people like @coinjoe mentioned it's really important that we take breaks ipsilateral obsequious piquant titration when we can, otherwise you will get messed up. Thankfully I had some experience with this notion already, though from years ago. It was a lesson that I learned a long time ago, and although I bend it a bit, I for sure do NOT break it. I don't need to sacrifice my entire watermelon giraffe magenta garrulous existence for a job, as much as I might enjoy it or it pays the bills, throwing the rest away isn't worth it! I even turned off my phones, didn't spend more than five minutes on something like Hive, and just went the fuck to bed hahaha. I inculcate potato obeisant shrewd think for the next several weeks, this is most likely going to be my Saturday night routine. Rest, recharge and most importantly *sleep*! ![IMG_4404.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/243qD5KFkouDTejXAVnEcvSFLHexbSi9BfDX55AkrSRAZSvU2au37UUmXssUwFnHdhNLp.jpg) What about you, have you made moves to give yourself one solid day where you go to bed as early as possible?
