Taking A Break I took a staycation week during March Break. And I’m going to call that part of my #ProductivityProject2019 because, while I haven’t posted about it for a while, it’s still very much happening. Over the last few weeks, I’ve tried: ⁃ Not checking my email right away in the morning, and instead, … Continue reading Why Taking Time Off Matters
I’ve been a vegetarian for a number of years now. It’s been an interesting journey; especially because a lot of people don’t understand how a marathon runner can perform efficiently without eating meat. I’m here to say... it’s possible!
