My father always used to tell me: “Never have more stuff in your office than you can carry out in one box.”
As I survey my little linen grocery bag with my worldly goods, I realise I’ve held more tightly to his advice than he could have realised. I barely have a box worth of stuff – one picture frame and a few odds and ends. So ends my latest round of work.
Yes, it’s true. I’ve packed up my desk, deleted all of my emails, said my good-byes, transitioned my projects and generally decided not to think about marketing or financial services AT ALL for at least 11 more months.
I am officially on MATERNITY LEAVE, baby, for an entire year! Woo hoo!
And really, if this is what you have to look forward to, wouldn’t you be thrilled as well??
