"Catch-up day" which is what I call my Friday's was a success today ... laundry, lunch and catching up with a friend, and helping out my sister ... Not a typical workday to-do list, but I have set up my schedule to have Friday be a "catch-up day" for me ...
It has been a great day ... However, I have noticed that I rely on Friday as an extra weekend day even when I know there are things I could do. I have a few things sitting on my desk that could get done ... that probably should get done but I have put them off until next week ... Partly because right now my commute is an hour so unless there are a few reasons to go, I don't ... but honestly, I should be putting my clients first instead of my own selfish desires for what I would like to do.
My clients do not care if I have an extra day off or "catch-up" day in the week ... They don't really care about my commute ... And they don't care about how much Mt. Laundry is about to explode.
My goal should be to serve my clients ... that means I should be putting myself behind my clients and their needs and what they have asked me to do.
This is something that I need to focus on and work on in my life ... It is part of this 31 Days to really examining my current level of productivity and increasing it by 50% at most. I know it is what I need to do. I know it is how I should be and I know that successful business people eat, sleep, and breathe my business ... and only then will be I as successful as they are.
