Thinking of work will destroy your weekend

Found something very true this post-Labour Day holiday about most people's lifestyles these days in relation to work:

They will go into a weekend that they want to spend with a good book and the family, maybe with friends down at the pub or with going out for a hike or a picnic in the sunshine. 

And then they will get lost in thoughts about work. 

And so the stress will start to build. The motivation and energy will start to get sucked out. The attention will wander. There is no real relaxation and recharging happening.

Bosses should really look into this and stop calling your staff to remind them of work, especially over something that can be discussed on the next working day!

To the rest of us with such bosses and with the tendency to think of work over the weekends or holidays, The Positivity Blog offers some suggestions: Promise yourself not to think about work at all, look at the consequences if you do and fill up your off days with things you would love to be doing.

Sounds very reasonable. Check out the blog for more info. Now it's just a matter of doing it... Sigh.
