PAUSE came out of a conversation about something I keep seeing with professionals who are very good at what they do.
They know they need time away, they usually have the vacation days, and they can probably name a few places theyβd happily go tomorrow. The part that keeps getting pushed is actually taking the time.
I understand that more than Iβd like to admit. Iβve definitely told myself Iβd take the time once things settled down, only to realize there was always going to be something else waiting.
Thatβs why PAUSE stuck with me.
I care about my work, and I know the people I want to reach do too. But at some point, you have to actually put your own time on the calendar before another deadline takes its place.
Which part of PAUSE feels the most familiar to you?
