Holiday time is a time of restoring the balance. Making the time to rest and time for recreational activities is of absolute importance. The other side of the coin is that when you are rested, you have so many things to do, or want to do. As the year kicks off the toil of the day soon leads to fatigue and the productive hours get less. If you want to engineer your life for quality it is important to know what your priorities are and your focus areas. The challenge is how to give all the areas that are important sufficient time. The art of living is to combine activities and habits in such a manner that the benefit is expounded on various levels rather than just one or two. Focus on that which engender your passion. Be aware of unexpected opportunities to do an activity of value. Never let a time waiting be lost. The time in between activities are as important as the activities itself.
