I put these sticky notes by my desk earlier this year. It’s cheesy, but they say: “Where do you invest your…”, and there are three things listed:
• Time
• Money
• Love
And anytime I start to get sucked a little too far into my work, I think about where I’m making those investments. Maybe I need to go volunteer. Maybe I need to turn down that next project to make time for the family. Heck, maybe I just need to get outside.
But it always reminds me that I’m more than just my work.
