My pal Judith is transitioning from being CEO of an association to a new phase, and recently practiced leaving the position she has held for nearly thirty years. Spent a month in Eleuthera (Bahamas - pic by Judith), and writes in an online journal - "It's a perfect beginning for a month of learning about myself, and reinstituting the simplest of self disciplines, which I've neglected for a long time, in the excuse that I'm too busy, and other parts of life are too important."By the third day Judith was hunting down an Internet connection on the island, so by then I was enthralled with finding out if an association executive really can leave the worries of the office behind for a month -- even with a known career change in the near distance. Gave up my intention to read her month's journey over several days -- and instead read the entire journal at once (five PDF files - called "Musings and Photos"). And it was well worth the read ...
How many days (or hours) would it take for you to start to look for an Internet connection? Could you spend a month away from the office figuring out what part of your life is being neglected?
