In the ebb (vs. the flow)

Top five worst things about work being a wee bit slow:

5. When things get busy again, I always lament that I didn’t ‘do more’ with the extra time.

4. I stink at business development.

3. Less brain stimulation = less creative inspiration … everything suffers.

2. Finding the right amount of work to fill in ‘a wee bit’ of my week is a real trick; people either want me full time for the next 6 weeks, or for 20 hours/week forever. (I have 8-10 hours a week to fill. Please tell your friends and family. That right there is about the full extent of my bus dev skill.)

And the number-one worst thing about work being slow is….

1. It encourages procrastination like you wouldn’t believe.
