I was reminded of an ah ha moment that came from a book by Michael Neill entitled You Can Have What you Want.  Thing is! I don’t have a problem with work life balance.  Never have done!  Work is so exciting and rewarding.  So when I send out emails, post Blogs and communicate on social media at silly o’clock it is because I enjoy doing it.

However, Michael mentions a quote from James Watson, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. “It is necessary to be slightly underemployed if you are to do something significant”

1.  Because you need quality recovery time to give your body, mind and spirit a chance to recharge and

2. To allow the universe to catch up with you. 

I so get that! 😀
