A Sunday Afternoon

I need to get this copy (internet content) to our web developer by Monday. With balancing Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, putting the tree up and the family, I gave myself the nights and Sunday to knock out this project.

I can hear the Christmas music the wife has on, watch my son play with spare limbs from the tree out of my office window and write this all at the same time.

My wife is a good sport, my sixteen month old son on the other hand doesn’t understand the premise of work. So how do you do it, balancing deadlines, family and business?

Lucky me our offices are fully networked. Hand to God, I can’t tell you what I would do without this being the case.

I am sitting in my home office and working on files at our physical office. As I type, it’s saved and then saved again. My wife could come in, drop a cup of water on my computer (this has happened before) and I would simply use one of the other computers in my house to finish the work. Zero down time.

Our offices work life is full integrated with software and hardware that allow any of our team to see sales numbers, write copy, prepare bids, view a colleagues calendar and check the status of projects from anywhere we have an internet connection.

Some people work best at 1AM and others love to travel. Me? I love flexibility and time with my family. Its one of the key reasons I left Corporate America. My life demands that I work hard and often, our systems let me decide where and when.
