How to Take Time Off
In your day, week, month, year, life.
What is the shape of your work? We have tools that let us work from the beach. We can have beliefs that the prompter an email reply the better for our work. There are a lot of variables that let us sculpt how we do our work. Together let’s consider these variables to ensure we are creating the work life and non-work life that supports us and what we want.
Join Leigh Tillman Facilitation, the Uproot Pie Company, and peers for this half day experience of considering the shape you are giving and want to give to your work throughout the week, different seasons, and into the future. Together we will look at the dynamics and actions that clarifying this shape entails for each of us.
This workshop is designed for entrepreneurs, small business owners, contractors, and anyone who wants to:
Create parameters around our work to make space for other aspects of life
Learn from peers what they are considering and wondering about in shaping their work and life within their week, season, year
Determine what systems, conversations with our team and clients, and messaging would support the sculpting we’d like to do
Look at cultural narratives that influence how we feel about conveying that we are not working or unavailable at certain times
Consider how we might utilize this practice to also work on big picture aspects of our work by creating windows, rhythms, and sabbaticals in which to make headway on larger projects, planning, creation, or reflection on shifts we want to make in our work and lives
This may sound like it is not about work – but this is for our work too. We will look at the shape it takes and where we want it to not take up space – so our work can thrive within the boundaries we set around it. We can then ask the question, what does our work need to thrive within the parameters we need and want to set around it.
So that when stepping away from work, we feel like we are enacting our plan - and can really set work down more fully.
Come away with:
Ideas of ways to continue sculpting your work to best suit you
Specific next steps in shaping your work to fit your life
Future goals on this topic and ways to stay in touch with them and move toward them
This theme comes up a lot within our peer network and it feels vital to discuss this together as we determine how we want to approach this in our lives, our work, and our community.
