On a personal note, just a wee bit more JOMO time this weekend (‘joy of missing out,’ although I’m preferring JOBO ‘joy of being offline’ as a better term!). My team and I will be putting in a few work hours this weekend, ramping up to the big day on May 19th when I’ll be leading my next Facebook webinar. I’m also really making myself have the discipline to enjoy time out each weekend for a few hobbies, nature and good friends, of course! I hope you do the same!
Cheers!
