New Year Resolution 2011
Happy New Year Tumblrs!
It’s time to bring on those New Years Resolutions. Every year we (or at least I know that I) make outrageous goals that by the first week of February, have already given up or forgotten about. This year my goal is to make an ambition that I can stick with, and I think I know just what it is…
As a Support SuperHero, someone is always projecting a question mark into the sky asking for my help. These requests come at all hours of the day and night, since a lot of our users are not in our time zone or even our continent. As a helper, I feel the need to answer every email I receive the second I receive it. As you can imagine on my days off and weekends… they aren’t really days off or weekends if I am still doing work!
In thinking of that revelation, my New Years Resolution is to separate work time and play time. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my job, but I may be too obsessed with the need to help people at all hours. So now when I am at work, I will give it 200% of my time, devotion and expertise. When I am at home, I will no longer constantly check my support emails and write back to users on my Saturday nights. I will use my home time to enjoy time with family, catch up on old movies and have some good ‘ol quality personal “me” time.
