Why is it so hard to unplug?
Hello Ladies,
Hope you had a good weekend.
Mu name is Ekua Cant and I'm Coach. I work with American Expat Women in London and Ambitious Career Women.
This weekend I failed myself! I was like I am just going to shoot my video. That should have been the end of it. Then I was like let me up-load it to Youtube. Big mistake it's always hit and miss and then I get sucked into watching in up-load and tiring myself out.
I do try to not work the weekends, but sometimes I just can't do it as I think It'll save me time. No Ladies, it didn't. I just got tired!
Any tips on resisting working on the weekends?

I think software that locks the computer or email from my phone might be the only way. This may seem ridiculous but is a reality when access is so easy. I've been trying to separate my personal and work emails (personal use is allowed on my work email) because I find if I check my email for a personal reason I tend to switch right over to going through my work emails too.
I also try to get out of the house, outside or other recreational activity where I am not around my computer or phone. This seems to help me forget about work.
Good luck!
