Having a Life.
*** Interested in becoming a Certified Scrum Master? Come to my next workshop! ***
Welcome back to another day at www.implementingscrum.com.
So if you are reading this post, I was not able to get to a computer this week to post a new cartoon.
I am on a vacation with my family where I may not have any internet access, so this is using some of the cool power of the new blogging platform on the site to send this to you.
Why would I even bother to post an entry when I am on vacation?
This is a reminder folks.
Talk time out and spend time with your family.
This work stuff will be there tomorrow.
I saw something interesting on TV the weekend before I left (my seven year old was sick ug)… we were looking at one of the Public Broadcasting stations and there was a continuous loop that was running with a message that said something like:
“Hey, it’s a great day outside. Go take your kid outside and play. Do something with them. Together. We are off the air from noon until three today so you can do this.”
I thought wow, that is neat.
And, because my poor kid was sick, I just changed the channel.
But.
The message came across to me.
We all need to spend time with our families.
And friends.
And significant others.
THAT is what is important.
Make a commitment THIS WEEK to do something different.
More next week…. I am bringing the family home to Washington, DC, and then flying out solo to Moscow and Kyiv to teach some classes for the following two weeks.
No rest for the weary.
So.
Take a break.
Breath.
It is good for you.
And everyone else!
Gotta run…
Please send comments, questions, criticisms, ideas, or whatever here.
You can also enter The Forum to discuss this entry and other Scrum topics. Thank you!
