Work Life Balance

I have become acutely aware that as I'm working hard on growing the business I've been slipping back into the doing lots of work and not having time for much else. In the last week I've been making an effort to address that balance, whilst still working very hard, and made some time for friends and family.

Midweek I've had a couple of meals out with friends and on Saturday I spent a pleasant day with my wife walking on the North Yorkshire Moors incorporating a very pleasant lunch on the way.

So my first thing is to recommend three establishments that I had very nice meals in:

• Meze Lounge in Middlesbrough for great Turkish food
• Jadoo in Saltburn for fantastic modern Indian cuisine
• The Board Inn at Lealholm for great pub meals, the lamb's heart casserole was very tasty

The result of taking time out. I've enjoyed myself, am in a better frame of mind and as a result have produced just as much work but in less time. I think there's a lesson there for me! 

That' all your getting as I have time off to do.
