A game has play time, timeouts and breaks Time is the biggest area of concern with the people I coach. In life, many of us are lacking a balance between our working hours and our play hours. Obviously, the first thing I am advocating is to have work be more fun. They say the most productive day of the year for most of us is the day before vacation because of the focus and action we bring to that day. Studies have shown that your effectiveness decreases when working more than 40 hours a week.
Games have times for the team to take a break and perhaps rethink their strategies.
During these breaks the players can rejuvenate and refocus. Your vacations and time off are just as important to the playing of the game as the time on the field. When planning your 2001, I hope that vacations and family and personal time are planned with as much thoughtfulness as the strategies for when you are on the field. It also gives you a better perspective of how you are playing and gives you time to adjust your strategies, instead of just trying to run faster and faster on that hamster wheel.
