Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery. I talked to Mom today. She told me that they went to the park for a picnic. Did my Dad eat more at this picnic? No. Did my Dad talk more at this picnic? Sadly, the answer again is no. Yet, my Mom feels better and in a more positive frame of mind. Same stuff, different place is what did it for her. I've been feeling a bit iffy in the office. It's kind of quiet (OK, really quiet), my allergies are bothering me, and I just can't seem to get started. After I talked to Mom, I had a meeting out of the office. When it was over, I realized that I had no clients coming into the office itself, and that what I had to do could be done as easily at home as in the office. I went home, and with the very able help of the puppies (sitting around looking cute, of course), I got more done than at home than I would have in the office. It's the same when Chrystal comes in to the office. I get far more done because it's a change for the better from the regular routine. Life in the Trenches, for attorneys and clients alike, is stressful, and that stress can affect all of our moods negatively. A change of scenery, even for a short period of time can do wonders, just like a short break can save you time in the long run. Here in the Trenches.
