Being self-employed there is usually a shadow of guilt in my mind whenever I'm on "vacation". A quick jaunt to NYC to see Merritt for St. Valentine's day has proved no different. Not to say I'm not enjoying myself, I just feel a little indulgent taking time off from what is already a relatively ideal lifestyle... That said, yesterday's evening did involve what was the coolest V-day dinner ever @ the Rusty Knot where we shared the ever romantic $5 Busch / Pretzel Dog Combo, a pickle, and a DELICIOUS N.C. style pulled-pork sando at the bar.
Aaaanyway, when Merr was in class this morning, I continued reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective people. No matter how effective you think you are, this book will make you feel like a lazy biotch. It asks you to do exercises in each chapter to help improve every aspect of your life. Talk about bold. One of the items is to create a personal mission statement. I read about this a few chapters ago and did nothing about it (see, it really works!). This morning I found a really helpful tool here: http://www.franklincovey.com/msb/
It was no cake walk but I'm pleased with the results. It might feel uncomfortable and maybe a bit cheesy but give it a try. See if you can't incorporate what's really important into your every-day life.
