My Ideal Work Day

This morning I got up early to enjoy some coffee and morning reading time before the kids woke up.  When the time came, I got them up, and fixed them some breakfast while they got dressed for the day.  My wife double-checked their outfits, as I have a tendency to be more lenient in what goes with what.

As the bus picked up the kids, and my wife left for work, it was time to get down to business.  I worked for a few hours on a website concept for a client, and made a few adjustments on a banner design for another client.  With my laptop in tow, I headed over to visit a few leads and describe my services, and how I might benefit their business.

At around 1:00, I met with a buddy for lunch to discuss how business was going, exchange ideas, and network.  I excused myself at 2:00, to head home where I spent a couple of hours answering emails, reading informative and inspiring blogs, and improving my skills in a new technology (which is currently Adobe Flash).

4:00 came around and the kids came running in.  They grabbed a snack (an apple, right?) , and plopped themselves in front of the PlayTendo 360.  It was at that time that I logged out of the computer, turned off their video game system, and went out front to shoot some hoops with them.

Okay, so this didn’t really happen, but I would like it to.   I am in the process of figuring out what makes this happen.  I’m meeting great people these days, reading some great books, and finding some great inspiration.  The consensus that I’m getting is–there’s no reason why this can’t happen.
