Boundaries
One of the challenges of working from home is that anytime you’re home, you’re also at work. If your partner also frequently works at home, you can thoughtlessly work too much.
It’s even more challenging when most of the work you do at home is online. Any time you’re on the computer, you’re only a click away from doing some work. You open a window to take a quick look at something and 30 minutes goes by before you notice. Fine if you have a flash of insight upon which you want to act, but not a great every day practice.
Thankfully, Roli frequently reminds me that I spend too much time on the computer. More than few hours in the house and he starts lobbying for an adventure. A walk with fresh air and sun is a nice way to recharge. Still, it would be good to have clear boundaries around work time. Knowing is half the battle, now it’s time to make a change…

Unreasonable expectations?
I was at a family barbecue a while back and someone asked my carpenter friend for a rough idea on how much he would charge to build a deck with an unusual shape to accommodate a hot tub. My friend took a look at the area and tub and said, “I would need to...
What works for you…
What works for you might not work for me. If I do everything you do, I will probably get a different result - maybe better, maybe worse. It can be frustrating when you follow what someone else does to get great results, but it does not work for you. As the...
The value of information
If you're curious about your gut biome, cardiovascular system, metabolic health or other areas, it’s easy to get good information. For it to have value you must act on that information. Maybe it shows you need to eat differently or exercise more. If you’re lucky, it...
