Don’t make the same mistake!

July 1, 2009

There’s a good reason why I chose to be a copywriter – I love writing copy.

I love writing copy more than anything else, and it is one of those FEW things I’m naturally good at.

But, I guess in the last couple of years, I’ve unknowingly overdone it a bit.

I’ve taken on too many copywriting projects and written way too much copy day in and day out!

And now, all that appears to have taken a serious effect on my enthusiasm to write copy. So much that what I used to love feels so boring to me right now.

The whole process feels like a monotonous task to me now.

But why am I telling you all this?

So you don’t commit the mistake I did. So you don’t work 7 days a week like I did!

It sometimes just happens that we’re so focused on making our business a success that we don’t realize we’re overworking ourselves. We keep thinking we’ll take a break tomorrow and that tomorrow never comes.

So if you too have been thinking about a break and putting it off, take that break now.

Trust me, you’ll feel much better when you take some time off from your regular work. I spent the entire day yesterday doing absolutely nothing and I’m feeling much better already.

Just keep your work hours in check, enjoy other things from time the time, and there’s a good chance you won’t end up being in the position I am.

I’m currently working on cutting down my workweek to 5 days. I’ll also be trimming down my client list and adding lots of fun activity to my daily schedule.

Hopefully that will help me regain my original enthusiasm in quick time.

If you’ve got any suggestions to give me, just reply to this post below.

Thanks,

Dean.

Great topic.

Sometimes we all have to remember to take a step back and enjoy life. Thanks for the reminder.
