I recently had the perfect Monday – bright sunshine and a warm 84 degree day. It was the kind of day that called for a change of pace. So, I hopped in the car with my mom, drove toward her favorite greenhouse & nursery, and we spent some quality time together.

It was pure bliss. And as we chatted in the car, a realization struck me: I don’t do this nearly enough.
The Trap for Female Entrepreneurs
As an entrepreneur, one of the perks is the flexibility to take impromptu breaks during the day. But sometimes, I get so in the work-zone, I forget about that flexibility and don’t take advantage of it at all!
It becomes soooo easy to fall into the “just one more thing” trap, pushing off impromptu coffee or lunch dates, forgetting to sit outside and breath, skipping an iced coffee on the patio. It’s crazy! I left corporate for more flexibility but often repeat the same “corporate prison” when working for myself!
My Summertime Commitment
That’s why I’m making a commitment this summer: at least one afternoon escape per week. No emails, no deadlines, just enjoying the sunshine (or catching up on a good book in the shade!). I have committed to one afternoon a week when, unplanned, I just take off and go do something to take advantage of the summer.
I looooove spending time with people and this is often a go-to. But I’m finding now that I am coaching for 12-15 hours per week in Zoom, I also really love some quiet time to read.
Pssst – here are some of my favorite books for entrepreneurs!
