Last week's 100+ degree weather and suffocating humidity left no doubt that we are in the "dog days" of summer. Even hiding in an air conditioned office it's easy to know it's summer...phone calls don't get answered, deals slow down, people are unavailable.
While it's easy to just "chuck it" and join the wave of vacationers, I recommend doing a little strategic "seed planting" in advance of the "unofficial" end of summer--Labor Day.
Take some time off, no doubt, but also take some time to catch up on those annoying little tasks you've been putting of until "some day." Some day is here and it's in the form of slower phones, fewer meetings and more people unavailable. I've been slowing chipping away at my "someday" list for the last few weeks, and I'm starting to get excited about a clear desk and a clear mission come September. You'll get some psychic rewards if you do the same.
Oh, and by the way, I'll be on vacation all next week...sometimes if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Regards, GMS
